Canberra is the national capital of Australia located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). It is the meeting place, as this Aboriginal name suggests, of Australia's Federal Government.

The CCS also hosts an annual calligraphy retreat in the Snowy Mountains for that perfect getaway weekend with a calligraphic flavour.
