North by north west

One more from the top of Black Mountain (still from April 2009). The large body of water looking in this direction is Lake Ginninderra. The cluster of slightly taller buildings to the left of the lake is the Belconnen Town Centre. The multi-story building on the far right of the photo (in the centre) is Calvary Hospital, and above that and slightly left is the University of Canberra. Most of the suburbs - and there are quite a few of them in this image - are well hidden by trees. It's pretty clear why Canberra is called The Bush Capital!

Building 12

 

Building 12, University of Canberra.

UC is one of Canberra's five main tertiary institutions. Established in 1967 as Canberra College of Advanced Education, the first students were enrolled in 1970, in four course areas: Administrative Studies, Applied Science, Computing Studies and Liberal Studies. Twenty years later, and with many more courses on offer, CCAE became a university - the University of Canberra. Since 1970, the university has produced over 65,000 graduates, and current enrolment exceeds 12,000 students.

Building 12 (along with Building 3 nearby) contains the Faculty of Health, including the health clinics which are available to the public.
