The sixth Lights! Canberra! Action! was held February 28th - March 9th 2009
'Stakeout'. 2009 is the 100th anniversary of the staking out of the borders of the ACT and as we approach the Centenary of Canberra in 2013, we remember the selection, planning and building of our city with the theme of ‘Stake Out’.
