Small plaque on the side of the Dickson Library. I took the photo. The plaque reads:
Northbourne Aviation Ground
This plaque marks the site of Canberra's first
aerodrome, which was declared operational on
4 March 1924. The first aviation fatality in the ACT
occurred here on 26 February 1926. Aircraft operations
continued at this site until November 1926 when they
were transferred to a site on the western half of the
present Canberra Airport.
