Foreword

Dear primary teachers,

I am delighted to be able to offer you this education resource developed by the National Capital Authority (Canberra).

We aim to build the national capital in the hearts of all Australians. A LOOK INTO THE PAST - A Blundells Cottage Education Resource Kit will make a strong contribution to the achievement of this goal by giving young Australians an opportunity to learn about the history of Canberra, and the lives of the people who lived there from the mid 1800s to the mid 1900s.

I do hope that you and your students will enjoy the many activities available in this resource and, as a result, plan a visit to Blundells Cottage in our capital.

We would appreciate your comments and look forward to your visit.

Annabelle Pegrum
Chief Executive
