CANBERRA, THE ONLY CAPITAL OF A CONTINENT, AND THE WORLD’S CLEANEST CITY.—A view of Parliament House and the grounds at Canberra,.the capital of the Federal Commonwealth of Australia. It was in this building that the Duke of York declared open the first Federal Parliament in the new capital, in 1927. Canberra is at present recognised as a “city in the wilderness,” just as Washington was a century and a-quarter ago, but it is Ideally situated, nearly 2000 feet above sea level, and high hopes are held for its ultimate success.
