Sorry to kind of reply with a kind of a spammy (zero content email), but I
just had to *smile* and *shrug*.

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
