Let's Celebrate!
On the 20th October 2024!
Please join the Traditional Boat Squadron of Australia and other boat clubs to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the inauguration of LBG by the Prime Minister, Robert (Bob) Menzies.
Canberra, Australia’s capital city, would not be what it is if not for the enthusiasm and determination of Menzies to ensure that the lake was built. The lake and its shores have become a place of natural beauty that surprise unsuspecting visitors, a refuge for flora and fauna, a home and backdrop for many of our national institutions, a playground for sport and recreation, and something to just enjoy being on or near.
The lake was filled with boats 60 years ago when Menzies gave his speech from Regatta Point. So let’s do it again: Float Your Boat, and join us in a parade and some shore-based activities to celebrate this special occasion.
This event forms part of the National Capital Authority’s celebrations of LBG’s 60th anniversary.
