It has so many gorgeous places and I just love Floriade in September. Plan on bringing Hubby up this year for it.
How long have you been there?

We live in the north of Canberra - and we have family that live just over the border in NSW Sutton. They have a farm and we love going up there - it is incredible to see just how vast everything seems compared to the small village I spent the last 7 years in b4 I came here.

He probably just hasnt seen it!! I am sure he would get back to you if he had.
Have you spent much time tripping around? I am an Aussie and bought my Hubby back to Oz about 18 months ago. We go camping every chance we get and are heading up to Qld in May. We just got back from a long weekend in Sth Aus. He is LOVING it over here....
