Map of Kambah Road from the 1960s

This is a map we sourced from the tourist centre in Canberra. The map was produced in the 1950's and shows the place names of the suburbs and districts at the time. There is a larger version of this map in a separate blog post titled '1950's Tourist Map of Canberra'.

It shows the area that we were interested in, being the land from the Cotter Road to the Monaro Highway.

Below is the roughly same area from a modern mapping service. See how the Kambah Road, marked in red, runs from the Cotter Road, through Holder and Weston, Stirling and Fisher, skirts around Mount Taylor, and then runs almost straight across Kambah to meet the Monaro Highway.
