Canberra’s pastoral history lives on at Yarralumla and Duntroon – Long before the city was built, the area was a giant sheep run, home to some hard-nosed Scottish settlers whose legacy can be seen at landmarks like Yarralumla and Duntroon. And long before sheep ran across the limestone plains, Aboriginal tribes gathered to feast on the bogong moths the region is famous for.
Arboretum – Canberra is a city founded on trees. We explore the history and the future – in a large new Arboretum – a collection of 100 forests.
Canberra bushfires: ten years on – CSIRO plant ecologist Michael Doherty explains how the bush has recovered in the decade since the 2003 bushfires.

Iconic Buildings: The Shine Dome, Canberra – It’s a great example of how no building can ever be seen in isolation; that it’s always subject to the influence of others.
