does anyknow know where i can get a map thats points out all the embassies around canberra

Im going down there in 3 weeks time & i want to see them all

Hema does one, no doubt you can buy it at most bookshops in Canberra, or as you appear to be in Australia, you could order it from them, see http://www.hemamaps.com.au/default.asp?p=68&ParentId=24&ProductTypeId=4 (Canberra and Region)

Cheapest option mate is to go down to your local post office..(Parramatta)
grab the Canberra yellow pages and you will find on pages..58,68 and 79..
the locations for the lot.
The main and biggest ones are in Yarralumla(US/CANADA/European/NZ on the opposite side of the LodgeSome others are in Deakin, the suburb southwest of Yarralumla and the rest are in O'Malley about 10 kms south of Deakin.
Also try the local newsagency/book store..which will sell you a Canberra map
or raod guide/book with all the embasies/high commissions marked .
BTW...security is fairly tight at some of the main ones.Even visa requests
require calling ahead .

yeah security is very tight around those embassies.

I last went to Canberra in 1998 & we went past the us embassy & there was a military guard at the door.

Saw allot of them (mainly the ones near parliament house)

when 9/11 happened they temporary closed the US & Israel embassy.
