Canberra is one of the few cities in the world to be designed and built specifically for use as a national political capital. Architect Dr David Rowe and GML Heritage will take you on a walking tour through key architectural landmarks in the designed landscape to learn about the work of John Smith Murdoch and his contribution to the early vision. The tour will conclude at the historic Hyatt Hotel Canberra.
