Australia's purpose-built capital gets the signpost treatment with this Canberra distance street sign. It makes a thoughtful gift for an Aussie living abroad or a reminder of time spent in the Australian Capital Territory.
Canberra was chosen as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne, and the city was designed by American architects Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin. Lake Burley Griffin, an artificial lake named after him, sits at its centre. Parliament House, opened in 1988, is topped by a huge flagpole and partly built into Capital Hill. The Australian War Memorial and the National Gallery of Australia are among the major attractions. The name Canberra is thought to come from a local Aboriginal word, often translated as meeting place.
It comes in four sizes: 20 × 10cm, 28.3 × 10cm, 40.5 × 14.1cm and 45.7 × 15.2cm. Finish is your call: Clean for crisp lines, or Rusted for a weathered feel. Enter a distance, or an address for it to be calculated from, in the field on the product page, and note miles or km.
