Canberra, Australia, is a city of orphans. People arrive temporarily for work, but stay when they discover the unanticipated promise and opportunity Canberra has to offer. An exploration of theÂ city Australia loves to hate, this book shows that there is more to this capital than politics, geometrically designed roads, and mid-century architecture.Â From the lake and its forgotten suburbsâ€”traces of which can still be found on Burley Griffinâ€™s banksâ€”to the mountains that surround the city, this account also examines theÂ unsavory early life of Canberra and the graveyard at St Johnâ€™s, where the pioneers rest.Â
