Yes, I admit Canberra's heritage goes back only 90 years or so. But, in its architecture at least, this city has preserved its short history well. Each neighbourhood stands testament to an era.
For 1930s red brick cottages set in tidy English gardens, wander around the heritage-listed suburb of Reid, adjacent to the city. For gorgeous 1940s duplexes, don't miss Murray Cres in Manuka. Up the hill from Manuka in Forrest you will see an abundance of 1940s and 50s mansions set in huge mature gardens.
Keep going to Mugga Way, which is Canberra’s millionaire's row. You'll need to walk this street in order to get a proper peak through the hedges. One property on Mugga Way is regularly open to the public - Calthorpe's House. Moving on to east Deakin, admire the quirky 1960s mansions clustered near the Prime Minister's Lodge.
For 1970s Jennings architecture, you need go no further than Hughes and Curtin. Curtin features a daring experiment with mixing public and private housing in each street. See if you can spot the "ex-govies".
The 1980s saw the development of Tuggeranong and the discovery of glass as a way to let the sun’s warmth into a house. For some handsome examples in a suburb with glorious views, take a drive around Fadden.
I will add some pictures to this tip when I get some, so please come back for another look sometime.

Just ask me for more details.
