Canberra is the capital city of the nation of Australia, on Earth.

Before the formation of United Earth and before World War III, The town of Parkes, which is close to Canberra was the home of Deep Space Radio Satellite dishes. These were used during the first manned mission to Luna (Earth's Moon) in 1969. Live video was transmitted from Luna to Parkes, then transferred to Houston, Texas, USA (Where Johnson Space Center - Home of NASA).

At that same time, Parkes suffed a atmospheric disturbance (Lightening Storm), which affected the live transmission.

In the mid 22nd century, the Vulcans maintained a consulate in Canberra. (ENT:"Terra Prime")
