Title: Canberra 1988 (Part 2)
Post by: Bus 400 on August 25, 2009, 11:42:08 PM
Below are a few pictures my Uncle took of Canberra for a course at the University of New England. I'll do some comparing shots eventually.(https://www.actbus.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-ak-snc1%2Fhs171.snc1%2F6416_139983186904_533761904_2930547_6621256_n.jpg&hash=1e933b10f04d831a6a1f083fa09c47fc8094b3de)Woden Plaza, Neptune Street

that first one of Woden is not Neptune street. on the right hand side of that phoo is where dick smith and hoyts are now. you can clearly see bonner house in the background, and there is a franklins sign over the entrance which used to be on that side of the plaza. the photo would have been taken from corrinna street, probably just near centrelink.

Looks to be where the Southern Cross Club is now. The old Multi Storey Carpark is clearly seen, along with the Grace Bros. entry, and side wall where the Intechange currently is. Homeworld Tower is also seen on the right hand side of the photograph.

That's too far away to be taken from where the Club is now. I'd say it is closer to the corner of Cowlishaw and Athllon.

You can see the traffic lights at the intersection of Pitman and Scollay (Howell) at the corner of the carpark - this is where the SC Club entry is now.

Yes, you're right there. The Tuggeranong Market later occupied a lot of the vacant space you can see in the foreground.

That would be right, it is to be harder to grab a 2009 version of the same shot.
