Alex Prindable, a regular on all the MRA rides, wrote the ride report for the website, and described the conditions of the road into Captains Flat, from his perspective from the pillion seat of his dad’s Boulevard M50. The owners of the Pub are riders, and are just starting out on this venture. Next time you are out at Captains Flat, stop by the Pub for lunch. They are a friendly crowd, and the meals are well priced. And, make sure you go upstairs and check out the accommodation. The rooms are very comfortable. Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 May - Eden Overnighter Our Eden Overnighter is coming up. This ride is at least 712 kms (341 + 371) in length but can be extended in many ways (See map on the website). It's for riders who are ‘ride fit’. We will be staying at the Great Southern Hotel (02) 6496 1515 in the middle of town. It has a few ensuite rooms and a big backpackers room where the accommodation is really cheap (and so is the privacy)! Book your accommodation and let me know that you are coming. We will be meeting at the Caltex servo at Hume at 9:30am for a 10:00am departure. Social Ride Report - Captians Flat by Alex Prindable, MRA ACT Family Member A total of 13 bikes met at Watson servo for a nice short ride to Captains flat via Tarago, Bungendore and Hoskinstown. About 10: 00 we all left Watson servo going up the bore-way to Macs Reef Road led by Gordon. When we got at Tarago there was a big group of bikers trying to stare us out of town. We had to stop at Bungendore for people with small bladders. After every one had done that we all headed off to Captains Flat for lunch. It got very bumpy the last five km heading into Captains Flat. We headed into the Captains Flat pub which was in its original condition, they only opened the pub up for us but a few more people came in.

    Canberra is recognised as one of the world’s most successful examples of planned city development.

This book attempts to capture some aspects of life in Canberra — the buildings, the seasons, people at work and play, the countryside — so that residents of the national capital can give an impression of its moods and lifestyle to relatives and friends far away.

  • City Railway Remnants Background Information
    June 2017 ACT Heritage Council BACKGROUND INFORMATION CITY RAILWAY REMNANTS Block 12 (part) Section 33, Reid; and The Causeway, Kingston. Canberra as a planned city had, from the outset, embraced the idea of an integrated system of rail and trams for communication to and from and within the city. The accepted design of Walter Burley Griffin provided a rail route on the eastern side of the city that connected Canberra with Yass and Goulburn. The railway, although planned for with easements set aside for its future construction until 1950, was never built. In 1921 a temporary construction railway was extended from the existing line at what is now Kingston, crossing the Molonglo River with a temporary bridge and then into the city approximately along this route. The bridge was washed away in the 1922 flood and never reinstated so the line became redundant. The history of the proposed railway is intimately linked with Walter Burley Griffin and evidence of his design for the city can still be seen at select points along what would have been its route. Important dates in the history of the City Railway Remnants 30 April 1911 Competition for the design of the federal capital city of the Commonwealth of Australia announced. 23 May 1912 Walter Burley Griffin (entry no.29) announced as the winner of the competition. 15 October 1913 Griffin appointed Director of Design and Construction. 1918 Plan 103C – Griffin’s last full design of the city of Canberra. December 1920 Work begins on Griffin’s temporary construction railway. 27 January 2921 Griffin leaves the position of Director of Design and Construction.

  • Canberra Bird Notes
    Canberra bird notes Volume 3 Number 10 April 1977 EDITORIAL Dr Mike Braysher, Wildlife Biologist with the Department of the Capital Territory, spoke to C.O.G. at the meeting on 10 November 1976. The talk posed a number of questions, and it behoves C.O.G. to interest itself in these. Additionally Dr Braysher would like individuals to write to him expressing views. The welfare of the local avifauna is very much at stake; if the wrong actions are approved by the Department the effects could be disastrous. Informed comment is most valuable. After reading the following paper it is hoped that many letters will be sent to Dr Braysher; some members may like also to express their views to the Editor. CBN 3 10 1 April 1977 LAND USE RESEARCH IN CANBERRA ADDRESS TO CANBERRA ORNITHOLOGISTS Mike Braysher I would like to outline a few issues affecting the A.C.T. which I believe the Canberra Ornithologists Group should know about and into which they may have some input. I will list these under four headings: 1. Jerrabomberra wetlands - Lake Burley Griffin (abbreviated hereafter to LBG) 2. Lake Ginninderra 3. Urban hills 4. Murrumbidgee corridor 1 Jerrabomberra wetlands - LBG Most of you know the area well, but I would like to give a brief outline of my impressions of the area. The water bird habitat around LBG can be divided into three regions: (a) The lower reaches of the Molonglo below Dairy Flat Bridge and its banks containing willows and reeds. (b) The open waters of the lake and the associated bays and inlets.

  • Canberra Past, Present and Future
    ArchivesACT Research Guide CANBERRA PAST, PRESENT ,. AND FUTURE ArchivesACT Research Guide DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR CANBERRA PAST. PRESENT AND FUTURE Canberra, Australia's national capital, has risen from the empty limestone plains of NSW's Monaro district in the space of less than 50 years. It is one of the few cities in the world that has been planned from its inception. It is beautiful and is largely without the problems that blight most other cities. It~ rapid and varied growth will continue under the guidance of the planners so that it will rank ultimately among the great metropolises in the world. This booklet outlines Canberra's past, its present, and some of the things planned for its future. AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING SERVICE CANBERRA 1972 ArchivesACT Research Guide _, A sparse gathering of frock-coated, stiff­ collared politicians, their wives, a few soldiers and local farmers watched as Lady Denman, THE wife of Australia's Governor-General, took a card from a small gold case and announced: 'I name the capital city of Australia "Canberra".' Although a secret up to this minute, the chosen name was scarcely a surprise. 'Canberry' had been the accepted name of the area as far back as 1825 when John Joshua Moore, the first white settler in the district, had grazed sheep there. It had also been called 'Kamberra'. Said to be derived from the Aboriginal word for 'meeting place', it is also believed to have been the name of an Aboriginal tribe inhabiting the area when Europeans first arrived. Also on the dais at this memorable foundation ceremony were Lord Denman, the Prime Minister, Andrew Fisher, and the Minister for Home Affairs, King O'Malley, a bearded ex­ real estate salesman from Kansas.
