Centenary of FederationPrint Page 
The park commemorates the centenary of the federation of the Australian colonies in January 1901.
The park contains a number of trees with plaques planted for former Prime Ministers of Australia.
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. They kept the systems of government that they had developed as separate colonies but also would have a federal government that was responsible for matters concerning the whole nation.
