Comments

This NCLT Aluminium-bronze coin was issued by the RAM in an unusual shaped coincard that in a very abstract way represented the shape of Australia.


The 16th Census of population and housing took place on the night of August 9th 2011. This event marks the centenary of national census taking in Australia and is conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics every 5 years. The National Census Act was passed in 1905 and the first Australia wide census taken in 1911. Inconstant at first and after a 14 year pause for WWII by 1961 it was decided that data would be collected every 5 years and the Act amended in 1977.
