THE WATER JET seen through the water gardens at Canberra, capital of Australia. The jet rises to 450ft out of the central basin of Lake Burley Griffin, the large, artificial lake round which Canberra is built. On a clear, still day it is visible above the trees and parkland for miles. The vertical jet is the Australian Government’s memorial marking the bicentenary, this year, of Captain Cook’s discovery of Australia’s east coast. The lake gardens development, begun in 1966, is not expected to be completed before 1978.
