FORMER “CityNews” reporter Eleri Harris has created a quite beautiful series of illustrations on Medium.com about the foundation of Canberra.
The lost promise of Burley Griffin’s utopian vision, and the very Australian crushing of a visionary with bureaucracy and half-arsedness, should come as a surprise to no long term resident of this city.
But it is nice to have the whole story told in the one place.
Who can be trusted?
In a world of spin and confusion, there’s never been a more important time to support independent journalism in Canberra.
If you trust our work online and want to enforce the power of independent voices, I invite you to make a small contribution.
Every dollar of support is invested back into our journalism to help keep citynews.com.au strong and free.
Thank you,
Ian Meikle, editor
