Today, the 9th May 110 years ago, Australia’s Commonwealth flag was hoisted for the very first time. And we residents of the CBD recognise the building where this great celebration took place – right at our doorstep in the ROYAL EXHIBITION BUILDING at CARLTON GARDENS!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a very special site and a very special place in our history!! Hip hip hooray!
Yes, happy Birthday! It should be our number one Icon Monument cum Building cum gardens in Australia for all Australians, instead, we are leasing the garden to an American company for a garden show! Shame.
