The National Library Of Australia
From The Film Australia Collection. Made by the Commonwealth Film Unit 1969. Built on the banks of Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra, the National Library of Australia is a graceful addition to the cultural institutions of Australia’s national capital. Designed by Walter Bunning, it is said to have been inspired by the Parthenon after his visit to Greece. This film shows the Library’s construction, from the planning stages and excavation to its official opening in August 1968 by the then Prime Minister John Gorton. Shown in detail are various aspects of the construction, including the erection of the fountains in the library forecourt and the careful assembly of the exterior marble columns. Features include the installation of Leonard French’s stained glass panels, Tom Bass’ copper lintel sculpture ‘Knowledge’, and the hanging of Mathieu Mategot’s tapestries, which were especially commissioned for the foyer.

National Library of Australia preserving wartime newsmaps
Anzac Day is a time to remember and reflect about the great contribution and sacrifices many Australians have made. War was also tough for the families back home, not knowing what their sons, husbands and fathers were going through.
The National Library of Australia’s Curator of Maps, Martin Woods, has chronicled the role of newsmaps during WW1 and the impact they had on the communications industry and the war in his book Where Are Our Boys? He explains the importance of this unique way of communication and the importance of preserving this valuable history.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

Huge hail batters Canberra, Australia
Australia's southeast was already dealing with the terrible effects of historic bushfires and huge smoke clouds. Then Canberra, Melbourne and other places were hit by golf-ball-sized hail that destroyed car windshields, killed birds and shredded the leaves off trees.
The Bureau of Meteorology in New South Wales, the country's most populous state, warned residents of damaging winds, large, possibly giant hailstones and heavy rainfall as it issued severe thunderstorm warnings in the east and northeast.
The storms also prompted warnings of flash floods — adding another element of risk to areas that have been hit hard by the fires.
In the Australian Capital Territory, which includes the capital city of Canberra, the weather service reported hail Monday measuring up to nearly 2 inches in diameter — accompanied by wind gusts that were near hurricane-strength.
The storm was intense and fast-moving. The territory's Emergency Services Agency reported receiving a record 1,900 calls for help — more than three times the average for a storm. All of those calls came in after midday, the agency said.
Lucky I rode my bike today, Hilary Wardhaugh said on Twitter, posting a video of a parking lot at the National Library of Australia where cars' rear windshields had been smashed by hail.
The hail forced Australian National University in Canberra to close its campus for both Monday and Tuesday, saying it needed to assess damage to a large number of buildings and begin repairs.
The dangerous storms came at the end of a weekend that brought a huge dust storm to western portions of New South Wales — another jarring twist in Australia's summer of extreme weather./npr.org
