Canberra where to visit?
 

We are planning to visit Canberra can someone that lives there
or anyone else please give us some names of areas to visit from a
living there point of view, not from a tourist viewpoint. It would be seriously
daft for us to go home without at least having a look at Canberra.

If we were to move there then somewhere near the shops, schools, entertainment etc.

Any ideas?

Ayup P.....are you thinking of moving / trying somewhere else before you decide to go back to UK then?

Sorry can't help re Canberra but I'm sure someone on here can.

Good luck m8;)

When were you planning on going and having a look???

Re: Canberra where to visit?
 

Once you get to Canberra don't forget to post your perceptions of the place on the forum, it should make entertaining reading. :D

You should go to the snow fields nearby if you are going in the next couple of months.

Hi Arkon - I will PM you later when I get home from work - maybe we could even meet up for a small sightseeing tour???

Arkon before I pm you later can you let me know a little bit more about what area you are looking for - and price range/size of property/ amenities that are important??
thanks

Why does Arkon want to move to Canberra? maybe he wants to have a go at running for Prime Minister. :eek:

Re: Canberra where to visit?
 

Wouldn't he make a great Foreign Minister??? :D

Re: Canberra where to visit?
 

Or Aussie tourism minister :)

I don't see why not. He's been a fantastic ambassador for the UK... :D

No I would leave tommorow but we will wait for Citizenship first, Oh and the minor detail of selling up. Our deadline for going home is by the time the boy starts school so thats about 3 years max. If for some reason we sell up early then we might do a 6 month stint somewhere like Canberra before going home, just in case.

Maybe sometime in July or Aug, not sure yet as we only just decided to go and have a gander today.

Thats ski season you should go to the snow fields nearby

Re: Canberra where to visit?
 

Thanks Sarah, Well we will almost certainly rent for a while and not buy like we did last time. Somewhere with the affluence of somwhere like Hornsby or Solihull in the UK, Low crime, Near a good school (Primary and Secondary). Near a decent shopping complex. No mozzies or flies. Preferably close to places to eat out. As for the property 4-5 bedrooms, 3 off road car spaces, double garage, and a bit of a garden for the dogs.

Oh and near to other poms would be a bonus.
