My son is a musician (solo, alternative) and we are interesting in live music or "open mike" cafes in Canberra. Does anyone know of any in the city/area? Thanks.

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I will be in Canberra for 3 days approximately a week and a half from now. We would really like to spend a day in the Tidbinbilla National Reserve. However, we won't be renting a car there. (Neither of us is brave enough to take on the left side of the road!)

Do any of you know if there are any buses or trains that go out there? We'd even be willing to take a taxi, just as long as we knew they would go out there, and how much to budget for that roundtrip cab ride. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

My boyfriend and I are about to move to Canberra. I have been there once in year 6 so we really have no idea about the city.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest some good suburbs to live in. We will be working in the city, so would like somewhere in the city or reasonable close with good public transport. We also want to be close to restaurants shops, pubs and general entertainment areas, or at least close to public transport.

Can you also give me an idea of how much we should expect to pay for a place; we will be renting and would like 2 bedrooms.

Thanks

Hello

I am an architecture student and I am doing my thesis on a New Parliament Building. I love Canberra's Parliament Building and I would like to get any info. that I can via interview, questions, your opinion, etc. on the Parliament so that I can better inform the design of my Parliament Building. Can you please tell me more about the Parliament or if you will be interested in answering questions that I may have about it?

Thanks a lot

Hello,

I'm just wondering: how far approximately does it take to get from Canberra to Sydney or Melbourne? I am looking to travel by bus since I can't drive in Australia... :( I'm just wondering how much time I'm looking at, and how expensive it is.

Thanks!

My son is travelling to Canberra tomorrow - and, as all parents know, we don't actually know anything - so, can any Canberran or recent visitor please advise how warmly he will need to dress - and the types of warm clothing to ideally take? Thanks.

Hi all,

I'm moving back to Canberra after nearly 8 years away. Work is offering to provide me a house in one of these locations:
- Gungahlin
- Jerrabomberra
- Queanbeyan

I was wondering if anyone can give me positives or negatives for these locations. I don't have children and I'll be working in the city. I'd like to be close to cafes, restaurants and shops but that may not be possible.

I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks, Mia

I will be moving to Canberra in August and need a job before I get there. I
will only need temporary work 3 months or so until I come home. Im moving

new college grad for a short time please let me know.

Will be in Rockie for a short visit from the 17th to 20th. Need a guide to show me around the hot spots.

Does anyone have some suggestions on the 'must' see & do's for Canberra?

Short stay, but better than nothing !

Any suggestions greatly appreciated !

Hello,

I will be returning from the Solomon Islands in October, and travelling from Canberra to Darwin by car from the 11th to around the 14th. Flying trip I know, but if you want to travel to Darwin by road and not take weeks doing so, here is your chance.

Will be leaving early on the 11th and will use whatever accom available during the trip. I am a decent aussie guy who has spent the last 3 months working to help clean up the Solomon's who just wants to go home! Unfortunately my car is in Canberra.

All I ask is that you help with costs and enjoy pleasant conversation.

Hi all. I'll be staying in Canberra the last two weeks of September, and will bring my camera. Do you know of any good photo sites, for nature and wildlife photography?

Note: I've posted this in the Melbourne forum as well. I will be driving from Canberra to Melbourne in July after having visited Sydney first. I was hoping to drive via Cooma on the Monaro Highway and then onto the Princes Highway. It seems as though it would be preferrable to the Hume Highway as I'd rather see more of the area instead of speeding through on a motorway. Any advice on this? I was planning on taking two days from Canberra to Melbourne. If I do take this route, any suggestions for where to spend the night midway? Where to stop enroute?, etc.?
Thanks!

I am coming from Perth which can get very cold at night down to 0c in the winter and was wondering at that time of the year is Canberra colder then 0c and what sort of clothing would you recommend for the city. Will be there for 5 days from the 21st of April.
