I'm from Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory, or A.C.T.
We're a rather young city having been named in 1913, but there was nothing here until about 1928 when they finally opened a temporary Parliament House. So temporary it lasted until 1988 - well past it's sell by date. It's now used as a museum, function centre and arts venue.
Born and bred, though have been fortunate enough to live in Sydney, Melbourne and London. It's not common to find Canberrans (Canberra born) in the 40's who still live here as it's a quite transient population. It's even rarer to find a Canberran over 70 and I'm fortunate to know several in their 80's.
