Children love to find their country of origin on this bronze, copper and enamel terrestrial globe, located on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin. You can also trace the three routes to Australia taken by Captain James Cook, which are marked in bronze. Details of the voyages are on the bronze handrail. The globe was designed by Walter Ralston Bunning and was installed in 1970, the Bicentenary Year, to mark Captain Cook's journeys to Australia.
