Canberra

Starting to get a feel for the location, it  became necessary to investigate the simple things.
CLIMATE:
relatively dry, continental
warm to hot summers, cool to cold winters
summer- warm/hot winds east to northwest
winter- westerly winds
rainfall- 629mm, 108 days/year - evenly distributed over year
summer- average 27 degrees (C) (min 13) - cools overnight due to elevation and inland location
winter- 11.2 degrees (min -0.2)
very sunny - average 7.6 hours/day
lower relative humidity than coast
not very windy

Garden City Movement - natural vegetation
'Canberra' = 'meeting place' (Ngunnawal language)

The most important centre for political media.
