The grant follows discussions between the Prime Minister

Government's firm support for the Sesquicentennial
celebrations in Western Australia which were celebrated in
1979 and those in Victoria which are to be celebrated
in 1984-85
The Commonwealth wishes the grant to be associated with
a suitable project which would be identified as its gift

to be held to determine the nature of the project.
