Fifty-one years ago this weekend the parental type people came down to Canberra to celebrate the opening of the Canberra Youth Hostel.
Mum took two photos up Black Mountain - one from the top, and one from the lookout part way up. Unfortunately we'll be busy on the weekend so I won't be able to get the fifty-one year recreation, so you'll have to make do with my photos from 2016.
From part way up..

I love how Parkes Way just isn't there in 1968, and there seems to be a lot more trees around now..

Trip down memory lane. More trees and a lot more buildings.
