Designed as an 'ideal city' and emblem of the nation, Canberra has long been a source of ambivalence for many Australians. In this charming and concise book, Nicholas Brown challenges these ideas and looks beyond the clichés to illuminate the unique, layered and often colourful history of Australia's capital. Brown covers Canberra's selection as the site of the national capital, the turbulent path of Walter Burley Griffin's plan for the city and the many phases of its construction. He surveys citizens' diverse experiences of the city, the impact of the Second World War on Canberra's growth and explores the city's political history with insight and wit. A History of Canberra is informed by the interplay of three themes central to Canberra's identity: government, community and environment. Canberra's distinctive social and cultural history as a centre for the public service and national institutions is vividly rendered.

Joan Sutherland’s debut, the notorious Petrov Commission, a rumoured ghost and rowdy public meetings give Canberra’s Albert Hall a history like no other. Albert Hall – the simple, elegant building at the heart of our national capital – was Canberra’s only performing arts centre for its first 40 years. The venue for weekly dances, art exhibitions, and tours by the Royal Ballet and the Australian Ballet, Albert Hall has also hosted citizenship ceremonies and important national occasions. This beautifully illustrated book shares the history of this Canberra landmark for the first time.
