Centenary of FederationPrint Page 
The stone commemorates the centenary of the Federation of the Australian Colonies. The Springsure Botanical Gardens were commenced in 2001 as a Centenary of Federation Project.
The Federation of Australia was the process by which the six separate British self governing colonies of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia formed one nation. When the Constitution of Australia came into force, on 1 January 1901, the colonies collectively became states of the Commonwealth of Australia.
