Garema Place
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Garema Place, Canberra)
Garema Place is a paved outdoor area in Civic, Canberra, Australia, with a number of shops, restaurants and cafes with outdoor dining. Many community events including protests and festivals are held at the location. The adjacent cinema, record/hifi store and bookshop have recently closed down or moved to the mall.
From 1921 to 1923 a railway line which connected with the station at Kingston terminated at the present day location of Garema Place until the rail bridge over the Molonglo River was washed away in a flood.
