Historic Lanyon supported a school and post office in the 1800s.
· Convict labour was used to initially develop the property.
· Back in the 1830s this was the very edge of settlement in NSW—it was illegal to settle on the western side of the Murrumbidgee.
· When fencing was introduced in the 1850s there was no need for shepherds or sheep-folds.

The Lost Canberra Tribe
Recently a blog post on my blog from 7 years ago started showing up in the recent statistics. I'm finding it interesting re-reading old historical Trove articles that I had forgotten about and think are important for local Indigenous history. Even though they are viewed through the eyes of European settlers and often blatently display the era's racist attitude, they still hold clues to factual Aboriginal history. I should have mentioned James Wright cited in the article was owner of convict built Lanyon Homestead and, after going bankrupt established Cuppacumbalong near Tharwa in Southern Canberra in the 1830's.. he was a highly qualified witness.
Track 1 Tuggeranong Homestead
Tuggeranong Homestead has many layers of history.
· Read the vivid description of a corroboree that took place here in 1831.
· Visit the Bean Room where World War I was being written up.
· See a Homestead with a mix of styles from 1830s, 1908 Federation and 1950s alterations.

Canberra Travel Guide - Memorable Australian Moments
Canberra Travel Guide - Memorable Australian Moments
Canberra is the capital city of Australia. The city is located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), an enclave in the south-east of New South Wales. Canberra is a planned city, with national monuments, museums and galleries built around a large artificial lake. As a bush capital, Canberra is also a great place to enjoy the outdoors, with excellent cycling, gardens, parks, bush walking and nature reserves.
Canberra was established in 1913 as the capital for the newly federated Australian nation. The ACT was excised from New South Wales and put under the control of the federal government. The creation of the planned city was not without critics who claimed it was a waste of a good sheep pasture.
Canberra's design was conceived by the American architects Walter Burley and Marion Mahony Griffin, built on the shores of an artificial lake (Lake Burley Griffin). Populated at first largely by politicians and public servants, it took time to develop its own identity and culture. Extensive building of national facilities and a concerted effort to develop public institutions in the city have made it an interesting destination.
Lake Burley Griffin divides central Canberra. The central shopping and commercial area, known as Civic, is on the north side and the parliamentary triangle and embassy area is on the south side. National institutions are likewise divided, examples being the National Museum of Australia and the Australian War Memorial on the north side and the National Library and National Gallery of Australia on the south side.
There are suburbs surrounding central Canberra, and also suburbs surrounding several outlying town centres. These town centres are, Belconnen and Gungahlin to the north, and Tuggeranong and Woden to the south. The ACT also has surrounding towns, such as Murrumbateman, which boasts a strong cool climate wine selection. The historic village of Hall is also on the outskirts of Canberra.
While Canberra on the whole is not walkable by any standards, some parts of it, including Civic and the central part of the northern shore of Lake Burley Griffin, as well as the sights at the southern shore of Lake Burley Griffin, are possible to tackle on foot. For transfers between suburbs, the best options are the bus, the car, and the bicycle.
As the seat of the government of Australia, Canberra is home to many important institutions of the federal government, national monuments and museums. This includes Parliament House, the official residence of the monarch's representative the Governor-General, the High Court and numerous government departments and agencies. It is also the location of many social and cultural institutions of national significance such as the Australian War Memorial, the Australian National University, the Royal Australian Mint, the Australian Institute of Sport, the National Gallery, the National Museum and the National Library. The city is also home to many important institutions of the Australian Defence Force including the Royal Military College Duntroon and the Australian Defence Force Academy. It also hosts the majority of foreign embassies in Australia as well as regional headquarters of many international organisations, not-for-profit groups, lobbying groups and professional associations. Canberra has many fine eateries, but beware - many will be closed on Sundays. All public buildings in Canberra are smoke free.
