AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Marion Mahony Griffin grew up in the best kind of playground – nature. Her home was a log cabin in the woods, where she was able to run wild, climb trees, and spend time entertaining guests.

'But when a fire caused that home to burn down, Marion watched and tried not to feel sorry for herself. She dreamed that one day, she could build a place like that of her own, with lots of nature, and a community.

'So, she became one of the first women in the world to graduate with an architecture degree.

'She drew and she planned, she planned and she drew. And when the Australian Government launched an international competition to design a new capital city - Canberra – Marion jumped at the chance. She sailed her architectural drawings across the sea, just in time.  Marion’s drawings and designs won, and she was able to make her dream a reality.'  (Production summary)
