Federal capital site (now Canberra), New South Wales

from Powerhouse Museum

    This is where Canberra was built? Amazing picture then...

    There were several sites proposed for the National Capital in New South Wales including the high country south of Cooma near Delegate, I am not sure where this photo has been taken.

The Lodge, Canberra

    I think the answer lies in the wisteria ... There is an excellent slide show of Lodge photos here - news.domain.com.au/photogallery/domain/the-pms-home-in-ca... . No.30 of 37 shows Joseph Lyons, his wife Enid, and eleven (!) children on the lawn in 1939. The plants are all a little larger than in this photo, so this is earlier, probably 1938, as many of the railway carriage decoration photos. (No.28 is also of interest, but is reversed).

    The Lyons family photo is also on Wikipedia (via NLA) -

    beachcomber australia Oh yes, I see the ones under the window sill are much smaller in our photo. You could write a book about dating photos, plant by plant :) Will pass this info along. AB

    Hmmm.... The removable nature of plants makes this a hard one to call. Here's another image dated 1950 ... I'm not sure that it helps us out much but see what you think! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:TheLodge1950.jpg -AG
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection - AG - That same image is dated as "ca.1940" here - nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn4660686-s204 , and "ca.1950" here - nla.gov.au/nla.pic-vn3572357 !! Also a colourised version "ca. 1920-ca. 1950" here - www.slv.vic.gov.au/pcards/gid/slv-pic-aab09728/1/pc000049 (Via a Trove pictures search for "The Lodge Canberra") Clear as mud! I think a Parliamentary Inquiry and Royal Commission is required ... not to mention a TV mini series - already done!

    This was most likely between 1910 and the Dreamland fire in May 1911.
  • street stars said:
    amazing photos. so glad i discovered this.
  • ashwood2008 said:
    These types of scenarios remind of the movies, it's amazing that not that long ago shows like this actually existed right here in America. I hear so much about Coney Island, and to see it in what might have been its prime is a great treat.

    I did a little research and found info on Ferari and added it to Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_G._Ferari
