Disappearing Canberra Landmarks Then and Now
A fragmented historical note recalls Canberra sites long gone including St John’s Church rectory, the Ainslie Rex Hotel, Narrabundah School, Canberra Grammar School origins, and the old Post Office. It mentions roads from Yass and the 1926 demolition for housing, with Telopes Park School succeeding the first public school at Narrabundah junction.
