Peter sent us these fun shots of Canberra from yesteryear.
To mis-answer Merc’s question about pictures of the railway in Garema place, see “fig 2-14 panorama.jpg”
According to my copy of “Canberra’s Engineering Heritage” (2nd ed, 1990, isbn 0 85825 496 4), the railway from Queanbeyan skirted the east basin of LBG, along what is now Parkes Way near Kings Avenue, crossing ANZAC Parade and Constitution Avenue and going through Reid, into Garema place and along Lonsdale to a terminus.
Unfortunately, the flood of 1922 destroyed the bridge over the Molonglo “…and it was never rebuilt”.
