Landmark Apartments

Welcome to Landmark Apartments.   Well-located in Canberra’s Inner South in the prestigious suburb of Barton, bounded by Bowen Drive and Blackall Street, our residential-only apartment complex is on the edge of the Parliamentary Triangle, overlooking Lake Burley Griffin.   The cafes and restaurants of Barton, Kingston, Kingston Foreshore and Manuka are all within a short walk from Landmark Apartments.   Set in two hectares of attractive gardens, the eight buildings that comprise Landmark Apartments are well established, have no inflammable cladding, and do not suffer from the building faults often associated with more recent developments.

Barton was gazetted as a division name on 20 September 1928, named after the Right Honourable Sir Edmund Barton, PC, GCMG, KC (1849-1920).   Sir Edmund Barton was Australia’s first Prime Minister, holding office from 1901 to 1903.   As a barrister and member of the New South Wales Parliament, he was one of the leading workers for Federation, serving on the committee which prepared the draft for the Constitution.   Sir Edmund Barton resigned from Parliament in 1903 to become the senior puisne judge of the newly constituted High Court of Australia.

Streets in Barton are named for former state governors.   Bowen Drive and Blackall Street are named respectively after Sir George Ferguson Bowen, GCMG, DCL, LLD (1821-1899), first Governor of the new Colony of Queensland, 1859-68, successfully organising the infant colony, and later, Governor of Victoria 1873-79; and Colonel Samuel Wensley Blackall (1809-1871), second Governor of Queensland 1868-1871.
