8) Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
Canberra is considered to be Australia’s largest city in the entire continent and is located in the Capital Territory. The landlocked metropolitan is well known for its variety of museums and landmarks as well as its active nightlife and tourist attractions. Canberra’s low employment rate has made it a compelling city for potential newcomers, especially considering that most well paying jobs are government positions. Along with the city’s economic wealth comes its rich history and dedicated monuments such as the National Library, the Australian War Memorial, and the National Archives. Favored tourist destinations include the exciting National Dinosaur Museum as well as the zoo and National Botanical Gardens. Perhaps the most popular attraction is the Canberra Festival, which is an annual event lasting ten days in celebration of Australian and international music culture of all genres.
