Canberra is often referred to as the "meeting place" because it was chosen as Australia's capital to serve as a neutral ground for the states and territories, fostering collaboration and dialogue among them. The name itself reflects its Indigenous heritage, as the word "Canberra" is believed to derive from the Ngunnawal word "Kamberra," meaning a place for gathering. This concept of unity and connection is central to Canberra's identity as the political and cultural heart of Australia.

There are two theories as to how Canberra got its name. The first settler in the Canberra region - then known as Limestone Plains - was Joshua John Moore who took up land in the area in 1824, naming it Canberry.

When the site was chosen for the nation's capital, it was to be the "meeting place" for the political parties and the people. Hence, the name Canberra was chosen.
