Noelene, I so agree with your description of Canberra, with all the
communities hidden in valleys, it is almost impossible to get your bearings,

see Canberra.

I seem to remember reading, when we came to Australia, that Canberra had been
designed, not only to "look" nice, but to be easy to navigate around!!
However, for over 20 years my Father and I would, on our trips to Canberra, go

You should try Canberra, which is built on circular roads.I was visiting a
