where is canberra

Canberra is the capital city of Australia, located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) in the southeastern part of the country. It sits about 240 kilometers (roughly 150 miles) southwest of Sydney and is a planned city established in the early 20th century to serve as the national seat of government. The city is bordered by hills and plains and is known for its national institutions, museums, and green spaces. If you need precise coordinates or a map reference, I can provide that as well.
