yep i've been to canberra. i agree it is dull and overrun by cars but the thing about canberra is that it was planned for an additional 400,000 people but never filled up due to socio-political factors. therefore it feels like it is empty and not working but if it was full it would probably would feel good. also the problem with 'cellular cities' (similar to milton keynes) people generally don't work where they are meant to due to buying nice cars.
interesting the architect (and very importantly his wife who was siad to be the brains behind the operation), when kicked off the project, went to syndey and designed a small community north of the river - this is extermely successful and still running today.
