You can quite easily — literally — get the runaround when you go sightseeing in Canberra, Australia.
I wouldn’t know why you would but you could, if you wanted to, go in circles forever in Australia's capital city, Canberra.
The fact of the matter is: a large number of Canberra streets actually go round in circles, with only a few straight spokes running through them.
The heart of the city
If driving from Sydney, you'd leave the Hume Highway after Goulburn and take the Federal Highway into Canberra.
Into Australia's capital city, the Federal Highway turns into Northbourne Ave and you can take this route all the way to the nation's Parliament House building.
Northbourne Ave is Canberra's north-south roadway spoke, cutting through London Circuit, then Vernon Circle in the heart of the city.
It then becomes Commonwealth Ave before it crosses the bridge over Lake Burley Griffin.
There are a few intersecting arcs before you hit State Circle and Capital Circle, where Parliament House stands on Capital Hill.
