Canberra Centenary Column, Monument in City Hill, Canberra, Australia

The Canberra Centenary Column is an 8.5-metre stainless steel obelisk on a 5-metre-wide granite-dressed concrete base in City Hill. The base's top is inlaid with glass tiles and covered by etched steel depicting Canberra's 100-year history. Local artist Geoff Farquhar-Still designed and fabricated it with Artillion Studio.

The monument was unveiled in 2014 and references an original plan from 1913 that was never realized. It honors the early vision for Canberra's development.

The steel covering on the base is etched with images of Canberra's 100-year history, while the top of the base is inlaid with glass tiles. The design draws on the never-built "Commencement Column" proposed when the city was founded. Local artist Geoff Farquhar-Still designed and fabricated the work with his team at Artillion Studio.

The monument sits at Vernon Circle and serves as a central reference point on City Hill. Its location makes it a natural landmark when exploring the area around you.

The time capsule sealed in the base holds 100 objects, both symbolic and mundane, and is meant to be opened in 100 years at Canberra's bicentenary. The ACT Heritage Library and the National Film and Sound Archive keep catalogues of the contents and copies of some items.
