Canberra is the 8th largest city of Austalia.
Canberra is Australia's largest inland city and the eighth-largest city overall.

The word "canberra" is popularly thought to derive from the word Kambera or Canberry
which is claimed to mean "meeting place" in the old Ngunnawal language,
one of several Indigenous languages spoken in the district
by Aboriginal people before European settlers arrived.

Before European settlement,
the area in which Canberra would eventually be constructed was seasonally inhabited
by Indigenous Australians.

Canberra is located near the Brindabella Ranges inland from Australia's east coast.
