I started working there a month after the opening. It was a great place to work and had great people. I was lucky enough to know nearly all the staff as I worked in personnel. Good times!
Fantastic channel. As a young man, seeing the world in such a different state it baffles me, yet I feel a sort of connection to it? As though it’s nostalgic. Anyway, I digress. Thanks for uploading all these amazing videos.
Canberra's best building by far with its classical dimensions and choice of materials. Everything built since is just rubbish to be bulldozed into the lake.
Nah British high commision is the best. Maybe Chinese embassy for its amazing "70's houso flats in a hat" look. Even of the monumental buildings it sits behind the High Court and the National gallery. Only thing the library has going for it is size.
I love this old film and I love this library. It is a beautiful building in a lovely setting and is a very peaceful place to spend time.

Hi Hopper, thanks for the comments. Digressing and feeling connected to history is what we are all about here.
That was great, thanks.

Um why isn't there any mention of the European immigrants like my grandfather and great grandfather who built the National Library?
