Haha native Canberran here who moved to the Far South Coast years ago because I was so sad there was "no beach" in Canberra. Turns out when I live near one I don't actually go there, so I'm moving back to Canberra.
Your delivery on stuff is hilarious. I laughed out loud at a few parts. My wife and I are looking to move down to Canberra from Sydney soon. It seems like when we tell people there are two reactions. 1) "BUT WHY CANBERRA?!?!?!" 2) "Oh yeah, Canberra's pretty nice! You're gonna love it!" We are introverts and don't mind getting away from all the hustle bustle of Sydney and the housing prices.
Thanks mate :) also I would definitely recommend Canberra if that is your goal, that’s exactly what Canberra is. The good bits of a country town combined with the good bits of living in a capital city
What's the conversion for Aussie dollars to British pounds ? In the UK a bacon and egg buttie costs about £3.50 - £4.00 . .$14 seems a lot for bacon and egg sandwich !!
I'm going to move from Sydney to Canberra for work at the end of this month. Headache with renting a place to settle down, more expensive than I was expected. You video is great. Thanks for some information. )))
do you possibly have a video explaining how to get the canberran equivalent to an opal card i'll be moving to canberra net year and don't own a car so it would be very helpful :)
You mentioned having a car is necessary, but I see that your road footage with from a motorcycle helmet. Did you have both when you were living there, or if you just had the motorcycle, was that enough? Your delivery on your insights was hilarious!
a whole highway closed because some dummy stopped still IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY and their car got wrecked horribly (they were okay) this happened when I was going to camp cooba in year 6
That whole "which department do you work in?" nonsense is more likely from career public servants and a huge portion of them travel here from other parts of Australia to do grad programs. I'm actually from Canberra and couldn't really tell you about the hierarchy of public service departments except to say that people from DFAT seem to think they're a bit of alright.
I've applied for the ACT police and Im from Sydney. I'm not sure if I'll enjoy it to be honest as Im in the talent pool for the Queensland police as well. Queensland just seems so much better than what the ACT has to offer. Any advice or thoughts?
Are you kidding? Civic pub King O'Malley's Assembly Bleachers Reload/Token PJs Hopscotch Badger Dollys Mollys Hippo Pedlar Duction Durham Old Canberra Inn Kingston hotel Public Caribou The Dock Lighthouse RUC Midnight Bar Bentspoke Tochka Tipsy Bull Blackbird Bar Rochford Transit Sideway Brew Nation Bootleg The Pearl White Rabbit Beirut Capital Brewing Co Just to name a few
If you like boring and public servants then Canberra place for you. Oh and of course a lake right in the middle full of carp. Lived there for a few years and regretted every minute of it. It has crime, druggies and homeless people just like many places but for some reason most Canberrans think they are so much better than the rest of us humans. Nice outside of Canberra I must say but I will take Sydney over Canberra any day
Nah I was 3 seconds behind and then they slammed on the brakes to make a turn two lanes over. Stopped well in time but the law clearly says you can’t turn left from the right lane
