There's a web-site (http://www.citymayors.com/statistics/largest-cities-density-250.html) which lists cities by population density. For some reason, Canberra appears missing from the list, but I have calculated it at about 400 people per sq km. Thus, 323,000 people sprawl across 814 sq km in a garden city surrounded by extensive parkland and lots of lakes and forests.
That density compares with Mumbai (29,650 persons per sq km) in first place, Beijing (11,500), London (5,500), Tokyo (4,750), and Los Angeles (2,750)! I'll leave it to you imagination what it is like living in so sparsely settled a city.
