Beginnings Of Business In Canberra
Canberra grew from a raw frontier settlement to a developing commerce hub after the first sale of leases in 1924. Early investors faced failures and misrepresentation, yet shops, bakeries, and workshops emerged as government departments moved in. Key figures include W G Woodger, tied to Canberra City development since 1924 and long active in local commerce and leasing associations.
