Land's End to Belconnen Pioneers in Canberra’s Early Days

The text traces Donald Cameron and family from Scotland to Australia, detailing their voyage aboard the Bayne arriving in 1859, Cameron's land selections in the Weeton gerra Belconnen area, and the early establishment of Cameron holdings such as the Goat Station near Copins Cross. It notes the Robertson legislation enabling land grants, Cameron children including Ewan Cameron, and the family's role in Ginninderra Weelingerr before Donald Cameron’s death.

Canberra town planners mimic rousing dog catcher scheme

A Canberra council spokesman jokes that town planning will be practical and frugal. He envisions a canine catcher style planner who maps roads, gutters, and blocks, avoids jargon, and delivers concrete projects while urging ratepayers to do their part. The piece shifts to historical notes on early settlers in the Queanbeyan area and the Camerson family, linking past land use to current development plans for Belconnen and the town center.
