Canberra is no stranger to being home to some of Australia\u2019s biggest names and nestled in the leafy suburbs of the Inner South is a five-bedroom property that was once owned by Australian media proprietor Sir Frank Packer.<\/p>\n

The patriarch of the Packer family was the father of media mogul Kerry Packer<\/a> and grandfather to billionaire businessman James Packer.<\/p>\n

Sir Frank\u2019s career in media started in 1923, when he became a cadet journalist at the\u00a0Daily Guardian<\/i>. Only four years later, he became the\u00a0director of the company.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

One of his notable achievements was starting\u00a0The Australian Women\u2019s Weekly,<\/i>\u00a0an instant success, and transforming\u00a0The Daily Telegraph\u00a0<\/i>to become one of Australia\u2019s leading newspapers.<\/p>\n

By the time of his death in 1974, Sir Frank controlled the Australian Consolidated Press and the Nine Network.<\/p>\n
