There are 350,000 people living in the ACT, but many hundreds of thousands more have a Canberra connection. In 2013 the Centenary of Canberra will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the naming of Australia’s national capital.
To celebrate this significant moment in our nation’s history, we want to gather the stories of The Canberra Diaspora – all those people who have passed through, worked in or studied in Canberra, whether as a student, a politician, a public servant, a scientist, a doctor, an architect, military personnel, a musician, or as a student on a school trip or with their family on a holiday visit. It will also be people who have a great story about parents or grandparents who made a significant contribution to the making and growing of the nation’s capital.
