What will the new millennium bring? And what of the old one? Today we bring you a Canberra Times special: The Last Word — an A to Z of the major events and human achievements this millennium; a review of Australia’s history and politics this century; and look a sport, the arts and music.
Tomorrow, in a special keepsake datelined Saturday January 1 2000, we look at the future: of society, technology, cars, sport and entertainment, what young people think and what would be the best books to take into the new millennium.
Also tomorrow, The Canberra Times brings you a New Year pictorial special covering the New Year’s Eve celebrations in Canberra and the nation and reports of what (if anything) happened with the Y2K bug. We will go to press late and some papers may be slightly later than the usual 6am delivery — appropriately for New Year’s Day.
