 Democracy takes toll on a capital idea - smh.com.au
But two new books on Australian cities demonstrate, perhaps unwittingly, how deeply hostile democracy can be to city design, and to the extended, sustained, collaborative discipline it entails.
The Griffins - for Reid recognises Marion Mahoney's centrality to Walter's success - are painted as idealistic Gullivers on the empty Australian culture-scape, outwitted, enmeshed and finally defeated by the unceasing efforts of a thousand pygmy pragmatists.
Reid is an unabashed Griffin devotee and his admiration for "the inherent perfection of the [Griffin] design itself" is in large part the motive for the book.

 A Capital idea: move them out to move us on - Opinion - theage.com.au
Last week, when Canberra was named by the Institute of Public Affairs as one of Australia's 13 biggest mistakes, the chief minister of the Australian Capital Territory complained that this was another predictable exercise in Canberra-bashing.
But when expatriates such as Germaine Greer criticise Australian culture from afar, they fail to recognise that this too may be a result of government action.
The bi-partisan reform movement to reverse some of the mistakes of past governments is giving back Australians some measure of control over their own lives.

Further developments included the construction of bridges and avenues radiating from Capital Hill, which realised the concept of the "Parliamentary Triangle."

 Amanita xanthocephala
The upper part of the bulb bears an irregular, sometimes a bit lumpy, ring of yellow to orange-yellow volval material (probably originally as red as the material on the young cap).
The spores are reported to be (6.6-) 7.2 - 10.8 × 5.7 - 8.8 µm and are globose to subglobose to broadly ellipsoid and inamyloid (Reid, 1980; Wood, 1997).
Reid agrees with Gilbert (1941) that the difference between this form and the type form apparently consists of the absent of red pigment.

 History of Railways in Canberra
This booklet (ISBN 0 646 14076 0) was issued in association with the National Capital Railway Festival, 23 to 26 April 1993, to mark the 80th anniversary of the ACT railway.
Canberra's railway history is so interwoven with the political, cultural and social life of our young city that it is invariably taken for granted, ignored or at best, simply treated in the usual technical manner.
It draws heavily on significant works published by senior members of the Australian Railway Historical Society and the Canberra Division of the Institution of Engineers over a number of decades, but any errors should not be attributed to the Society.

A candidate must be at least 18 years old, an Australian citizen, and an elector entitled to vote or a person qualified to become an elector.
Given that territory senators take their places immediately, this would mean that a re-elected Howard government would be one more vote down in the Senate and would be unable to pass legislation without the help of the Democrats, even if Senators Harradine and Colston supported them.

This landscape is a reflection of the inherent beauty of the site's plains, fringing wooded hills and distant mountains, combined with the skill of the horticulturist and landscape architect.
Of principal concern was the destruction of tree cover on the hills surrounding the site and the consequent degradation of the shallow soils in these areas which created widespread water and wind erosion.
The planting in the vicinity of Old Parliament House and Government House, and in the inner suburbs of Braddon and Reid, are fine examples of his work.
