Canberra - Map - Single Page


C1926-c1945 - A Google search reveals that the Telephone Number belonged to the Canberra Tourist Bureau from about 1926 to possibly as late as 1956 - very hard to determine.

Once again if you can shed any light on an exact period - your assistance would be appreciated!

Thank-you


This is the last of the vintage photos, please feel free to review the photos and postcards of an Aussie travelling the world just after WWI.

Make sure you check out the "100yr Old Photos" tag and check all 25 odd posts.

Back up those digital images, because one day this could be your photos being posted for people to see!

What are you laughing at?

How many times have you heard this statement? – be it from a workmate, a lover, friends or partner.

I read anything in the printed the form and if there is no book handy, often a novel, I will read the back of the cereal packet. I love reading. I’ll read almost anything.

I was reading a cheap novel, not even sure where it came from, probably swapped between other book lovers, as often happens. This exert made me laugh and put a smile on my face. Just imagine me as Bertha


“Bertha wasn’t worried about Indians bothering her; she knew they thought it was bad medicine to mess with crazy people. And what could be crazier than an old woman on a mule out here by herself?”

From Jessie’s Outlaw, Author:Cheryl Anne Porter 1993

What books have you read that bring out bouts of laughter, giggles or even tears?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
