MEMORIAL FOR THE CENTENARY OF ESTABLISHMENT OF THE 
' TERRITORY FOR THE SEAT OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT '   

On the 1st of January 1911, the Australian Government took possession of 2357 square kilometres of Ngunnawal land, in the Yass-Canberra district of New South Wales (NSW) to form the Federal Capital Territory.
This was renamed Australian Capital Territory (ACT), and has become the site for the Australian National capital.

These drawing plans, in the style of Victorian architecture 'Australiana', illustrate the conceptual design project and sculptures that could be used for an Australian National Memorial Monument.

The proposed structure has been designed to remind people of this important historical event and their collective willingness to have a designated piece of land in which to build the future National Capital.

The architectural sculpture memorial marks this event by, not only celebrating the arrival of one hundred years of history, but also acting as a reference point for the future of the Australian nation, its people and territories.
