Readers' Views on Advance Australia Fair Anthem
A Canberra letter from May 22 1987 argues that Advance Australia Fair has never had an official proclamation as the national anthem. The writer urges formal declaration, wider school teaching, and public singing at events, noting it should not affect the British National Anthem. The letter advocates continued pursuit of the issue.

City Gardens Plant Four Million Trees in Plan
The department launches a wide planting plan in the city suburbs to employ unskilled laborers, with 40 to 60 men preparing ground and planting through June. Shelter belts around Wakefield Gardens and two small recreation reserves will be enclosed by ornamental trees and shrubs. The main plantation spans 80 to 180 feet in width and about a mile in length, featuring eucalypts, conifers, wattles, and other flowering trees to replace peaches. A large gang started near Torrena Street and Haig Drive, aiming for a site 1400 feet from the old plantation and extending north across Pialligo Avenue toward Wakefield Gardens, with excavations to remain open briefly. Preparations already cover Wakefield Gardens and adjoining streets for ornamental plantings, including deciduous trees in recreation areas.
