an entirely new city so that the Federal Government could have complete control over its own seat and also be removed from the influence of any of States capitals. Only in 1908, after a fierce debate, the present Australian Capital Territory was chosen.
The design of the city formed the subject of a worldwide competition (in 1911) which was won by a Chicago architect. The focal point of the plan was Capital Hill from which all the main avenues were to radiate. Many of the streets were seen as lying in concentric circles.
Visitors will be interested to inspect the public buildings. The most important is Parliament House, containing the two Chambers for the Senate and the House of Representative. Within the building there are many paintings,
statues, busts and works of art and of historical interest connected with the development of Australia.
The Australian National University, which stands on a site of some 200 acres in the north of the city, was founded in 1946, and is devoted to a research in physical sciences, medicine, social sciences and Pacific studies.
Other notable sights are: the Australian Institute of Anatomy; the Commonwealth National Library; “Yarralumba”, the home of the Governor-General; the School of Forestry, the Commonwealth Observatory and the Australian War Memorial.
