Garema Place, Canberra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Garema Place is a paved outdoor area in Civic, Canberra, Australia, with a number of shops and restaurants and cafes with outdoor dining. Many community events including protests and festivals are held at the location.

From 1921 to 1923 a railway line which connected with the station at Kingston terminated at the present day location of Garema Place until the rail bridge over the Molonglo River was washed away in a flood.

Garema Place is the location of Canberra's Multicultural Festival held each February and the Celebrate Canberra Festival in March.
