Canberra Beginnings Remembered in Historic Canberra Times

The article recalls Canberra’s early growth around 1926 including shops in Kennedy Street and Giles Street, services, the first petrol bowser, and a Bank of New South Wales branch. It notes limited churches, early medical and education setups, police activity, and social life centered on Queanbeyan with sporadic entertainment, fire brigade, and population figures as the capital matured.
