The Centenary of Federation celebrations

Welcome to our special coverage of the Centenary of Federation. At ASE we see these celebrations as being just as important Special Events as the Olympics, so once again we have a special section devoted to the events, and once again we invite you to submit your stories – whether as a volunteer in the Parade or as a professional working on any aspect of the events.
