"Australia became an independent nation on 1 January 1901. The British Parliament passed legislation allowing the six Australian colonies to govern in their own right as part of the Commonwealth of Australia.

The Commonwealth of Australia was established as a constitutional monarchy. 'Constitutional' because the Commonwealth of Australia was established with a written constitution, and 'monarchy' because Australia's head of state was Queen Victoria." (visit link)

The Memorial walls were constructed to commemorate the Centenary of Federation 1901 - 2001. A time capsule was embedded in the wall and is to be opened on Australia Day 2101.
