Centenary of FederationPrint Page
The bell, formerly in the first church at Bogan Gate, was refurbished and erected to commemorate the centenary of Federation in 2001.
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.
