Abstract

Which Canberra church was once a railway station? Who is the famous bushranger associated with Lake George? How did Captain's Flat get its name? Who sang the National Anthem at the opening of Parliament House? This book will answer these questions and many more for everyone interested in the history of Canberra and the surrounding area. As well as descriptions of tours to places of historical interest there are many useful hints for the amateur historian, including chapters on recognising local styles of architecture and discovering history from graveyards.
