 Australia and North Korea
For Canberra, backing the anti-terrorism war is a matter of national security, assisting with Iraq is a calculated risk to demonstrate Australia's strategic importance to the United States, but a war in Northeast Asia would destabilize all of East Asia, leaving Australia on the front lines of a potential war with China.
NORTH Korea is a credible threat to Australia and Prime Minister John Howard should focus his efforts on the Asian nation rather than Iraq, the Australian Greens have argued.
North Korea is one of the last communist holdouts, cut off from foreign trade, short of food, and politically controlled by Kim Jong-il, the supreme leader and the head of Korean Workers' Party.

 Canberra Astronomical Society - Southern Cross - April 1998
For the benefit of anyone travelling north in the near future, I will also mention some of the other highlights of Ursa Major that I saw on a visit to Hawaii several years ago.
It should also be noted that, observing from Theodore, Ursa Major and Leo Minor are deeply embedded in the Canberra sky glow and someone observing from the north of Canberra would probably do a lot better.
North, and well detached from the main, fan-shaped haze, there are two much softer hazy glows.

 A short history of Canberra   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Canberra is one of those few cities whose design was the result of an international competition and the city has been developed to a plan since its establishment.
Development in Canberra gained pace during this period, with the construction of the Prime Minister’s residence, two government office buildings (East and West Block), numerous other buildings (a dam, powerhouse, brickworks) and the beginnings of several suburbs.
Canberra’s population was 10,000 in 1939, with only a small number of public buildings and a very basic transport and communications network with Sydney and Melbourne, where the wartime economy would be concentrated.

 Canberra at the Crossroads
Unfortunately, when the American consultants convinced Canberra's planners to incorporate their freeway plan into the Garden City vision they had derived from Howard's ideas, they introduced a fundamental and fateful change in Howard's original model, which had placed heavy emphasis on walking, cycling and public transport as means of travel.
Given that Canberra's population is likely to grow much less rapidly than predicted in the past, as the ACT government points out in "Canberra: A Capital Future", the population target for Gungahlin should be revised downwards to the original figure of 85,000, but the employment target should remain at the higher figure of 23,000.
Canberra has a much greater share of employment and other activity in centres (Civic, Woden, Tuggeranong, Belconnen) than is the case in Melbourne and Sydney (and Ottawa), where there are many freestanding shopping malls, business parks and other forms of unplanned development.
