Ladies and gentlemen, the weekend
Daniel Craig’s face photoshopped on top of Bugs Bunny in a tuxedo suit. The text says (with some of the subtitles from Daniel Craig introducing the singer The Weeknd) “I wish all ladies and gentlemen a very pleasant the weekend”

It’s true! I think condition was something like - has to be further than 100 miles (~160km) from Sydney, but has to be in NSW. A town called Dalgety was selected, but NSW didn’t consent, so Canberra instead. Some of the sites here (I forgot where I got it from)
An old 1903 map of New South Wales Proposed Federal Capital Sites for Australia. The map shows all of NSW, eight sites, 3 of them just west of the 100 mile radius, 4 of them some distance further south west, and 1 north east of Sydney. A table showing distances from proposed sites for the federal capital of Australia in miles, each to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, and Hobart, the state capitals of Australia. Lake George is the closest to the present day capital of Canberra An old 1903 map of New South Wales Proposed Federal Capital Sites for Australia. The map is zoomed in to show 7 of the 8 sites, and there is a small green highlight showing where Canberra is. There is one capital, Armadale north east at the top of this image. Orange, Lyndhurst, and Bathurst are a closely located triangle that is just near the 100 miles radius away from Sydney. Lake George is due south South west of Sydney, and is the closest to present day Canberra. Unit is west of Lake George, and Albury is west south west, to the Murray River marking the border of NSW to Victoria
