Canberra's International Design Competition begins

Robert Coulter's 'Cycloramic View of Canberra Capital Site', painted at Camp Hill (a location originally about half way up Capital Hill). This painting, and another done at Vernon Hill (now City Hill), were included in the comprehensive information kit that accompanied the Invitation for Competitors (for the International Design Competition), sent to all parts of the world in 1911. The comprehensive competition package attracted 137 national and international entries.
