This is a great model of Canberra from the Canberra Museum: Capital Hill and Parliament House is centre-right, one apex of "the triangle," the city's axis. The left axis heads across the lake to the City Centre (commercial district), and the right axis heads out to a mixture of housing and offices. Down the middle from Parliament is the centre axis, with the small white Old Parliament House and then the national lawn, surrounded by various museums and ministries. Keep going across the lake and there is Anzac Parade leading up to the Australian War Memorial museum and Mt. Ainslie behind. The city is full of roundabouts within roundabouts and streets leading off at various angles to form subdivisions and neighbourhoods. At the top-right you can see the small Molonglo River, which used to flow (very minimally) where the lake is now. A large dam was built in 1964 to flood what is now the lake and turn it from a stagnant swamp into the key feature of Canberra.
