Re: Canberra - Deathly Dull?
Just got back from Canberra Day celebration on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin. A couple of great Canberra bands the Gadflys, 78 Saab and The Church were playing at Regatta Point. Oh well, maybe the The Church are technically from Sydney but close enough. In true Canberra style we rode our bikes down to the lake along some lovely bike paths.
We did the same.

Re: Canberra - Deathly Dull?
The DH just sent me pics of central Canberra (I've been gone 18 months) to show me the changes and to some stent I can see what people mean if that is all they get to see of the place (almg with all the national buildings). Of course, living there is different and the sterility sort of becomes commonplace and you know there is more going on elsewhere but, I hate to admit it, sterile bling was the phrase that sprang to mind when I saw the pics.

I did not intend to say you were a knocker - just outlining a situation where some might like it. And being senior was just an example. I mean someone might be right in the middle of some interesting stuff in their field which meant for them it was all great.

There's nothing wrong with knockers!

Re: Canberra - Deathly Dull?
I enjoyed the music at Regatta Point but, yes, the event overall was a bit of a disappointment. Luckily, we had our bikes so it didn't take 3 hours to walk around the lake. And the weather was great. And the lake looked very pretty And, alright I give up. Canberra is a tad boring (sometimes).
