Canberra, Australia, was built as the new Federal City in the 1920s. The first public omnibus service in the Canberra area was begun by the Commonwealth Department of Works in October 1923 for the benefit of workers constructing buildings. The service originated from construction camps and ‘tent cities’ at the Causeway and Pialligo, and the temporary railhead at Eastlake (Kingston), and two charabancs carried people to the various building sites in Civic Centre and Parkes.
