CANBERRA, THE NEW FEDERAL CAPITAL, SHO'WING HOW IT 



The future Federal Capital of Australia will be situated at Canberra, in New South Wales, 

 i-ii the midst of some 900 square m.iles of territory, a part of which is unknown to man. The 

 Molonglo River will flow through the heart of the new capital. The Cotter will provide the watei- 

 supply, and an impounding weir is tx> be erected on this at about a mile above its confluence with 

 the Murruinbidgee; while the water will be carried by a pipe-line to a pipe-head reserToir at Mount 

 Stromlo, where the astronomical laboratory is to be placed, and thence to a service reservoir at 

 Red Hill. The Molonglo will provide Canberra's ornamental waters. 



The Federal Capital City will be the permanent seat of Government of the Commonwealth 

 of Australia. The Federal Parliament will meet there for the discussion and arrangement of all 

 Commonwealth legislation; and there, too, will be the official residence of the Governor-General. 



Thus the City is destined to be the official and social centre of Australia.
