Many of these birds, including colourful parrots, are common not only in the
indigenous forests but also in Canberra.There is much less birdlife in the pine
forests. Eastern brown snakes, red-bellied black snakes, and several lizards are
common, especially near watercourses, but snakes are seldom found in urban areas.
Among the nonendemic animals found in the forests are wild pigs, goats, and horses
and, in the grasslands, foxes, rabbits, and hares.
The population has a higher proportion of young adults than the national
average and a lower proportion from the older age groups. About a quarter of the
residents—slightly higher than the national average—were born outside Australia,
mainly in the United Kingdom. Less than 1 percent of the population are Aborigines.
Roman Catholic and Anglican, together accounting for more than half of the
population, are by far the most important religious affiliations.
The Australian Capital Territory is not culturally distinct from other parts of
Australia, though it has relatively few low-income families, Aborigines, and
members of some immigrant groups. The cultural life of Canberra is rich because of
the high incomes and high levels of education of many of its residents.
Canberra has a lively artistic life, fostered in particular by the music and art
schools at the Canberra Institute of the Arts. The staffs of both schools include
notable artists. Musical performances are held in Llewellyn Hall at the Canberra
School of Music, and theatrical performances are given at the Canberra Theatre. The
Canberra Symphony Orchestra is semiprofessional, and there is a professional drama
company. In addition to the Australian National Gallery, there are many smaller
private galleries. The National Library, together with ANU Library, has one of the
largest collections in the country. The Australian War Memorial is a large museum
with exhibits on all the wars in which Australians have fought. The Australian
academies of science, social sciences, and humanities are located in Canberra. A
number of authors have made Canberra their home.
Canberra has a week of festivities in March; Canberra Day, a public holiday in
the territory, occurs in the third week of March. In September a Floriade festival
features displays of spring flowers. There is a wide range of parks and reserves.
Clubs and private facilities offer sports, and the Australian Institute of Sport trains
competitors at a high level. Canberra has teams in an interstate rugby league, men's
and women's basketball, and soccer competitions. The urban lakes are the sites of
nonmotorized water sports; there are limited skiing facilities in the mountains.
