Google Earth has the centre as shown below, and as they are American, it
must be correct.

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
