The Molonglo Electorate

Molonglo is the largest electorate in the ACT.  It returns 7 of the 17 Legislative Assembly members.    The electorate consists of the districts of Gungahlin (excluding the suburb of Nicholls), Canberra Central, Weston Creek, Woden Valley (excluding the suburbs of Chifley, Farrer, Pearce and Torrens), Kowen, Majura, and Stromlo.

The name "Molonglo" is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "like the sound of thunder". It is the name of the river that flows through the central electorate, which was dammed to form Lake Burley Griffin, one of the focal points of Canberra.
