Note for Armaniac!

Armaniac not sure if you're reading this or indeed will read this. I cannot post to your log from this school as there is some sort of block on accessing the link from blogger websites. Indeed i cannot even add to or view my own blog links; i can only blog via email... Thankfully i am emailed my updated messages from people.
I love Canberra! I am not afraid to be quoted on this!! Indeed , while i have to admit i prefer Melbourne, Canberra has a lot going for it! electric shadows cinema, tilly's cafe (great live music venue), that little stout serving pub i can't remember the name of, the National Folk Festival and Kambah Pools to name a few places/events (or not name them)...
Also there is a lovely soft underbelly of Canberrians- artists (including dramatic) and musicians. Look out for a band called the Fuellers (Rockabilly); very cool! Canberra IMO has a lot in common with Darwin; having been a "planned city": There are loads of parks and areas of planned non-development.
Also the Education system in Canberra is amazing with Colleges like Casuarina Secondary that treat older students more like adults and give them more choice. I've always said Canberra is a great place to raise kids. Damn! I should apply for a job with the ACT tourist commision!

hmmm... thanks. apolog bad writing coz arm in sling,cat bite.

canby- saying tis like darwin wont sell it for me! however i agree its an excessvly panned place, right down to th weather. cold butdry, quite tolerable.

seems bit of an alt arts scene, and yes 3-4 good pubs. dont know about the kids thing tho, despite peoplesaying it a lot. child care and primary schools dont compare to where we live in melbourne.

main issue is prevalence of boganalia, focus on sport and suburbs, disappointing given high educ levels etc.

oh and phenomenal cost of living!but, we shall see...
