| Abstract |
The design for Canberra, as developed from the initial plan of 1912, by Marion and Walter Griffin, cannot be understood without recognising that the Land Axis connecting Mount
Ainslie with the War Memorial, Anzac Parade, the lake system, the Parliamentary Triangle and Capital Hill, extends to Bimberi Peak, the highest mountain in the Brindabella ranges some twenty-five
kilometres to the south of the central city (Figs 1 & 3). Bimberi Peak, not Capital Hill, was designated as the terminus to the Land Axis both on the initial drawings and in the original
report.
