Hi all,

 

This is something that has been sending my brain, or what’s left of it, into cloud cuckoo land (that’s probably the closest this will come to anything birdy!!). Can anyone tell me EXACTLY where ”Canberra” is? The postcode 2600 is in Parkes from what I can gather (this is where I gather the “GPO” is found in the old West Block buildings or whatever they may now be called), as is “old” parliament house.  “Canberra” was around before the “new” parliament house which also has the 2600 postcode. Or is it just a name for a locality like Belconnen, Woden, Gungahlin etc, and if so just what does it encompass? Think about it!! Please put this old brain out of its misery. Should we really be the “National Capital Ornithologists Group, although NCOG just doesn’t have the same ring as COG??

 

Thanks,

 

Mark
