NOT my favourite Australian city!

by martin_nl - last update: Oct 22, 2005

Parliament House
What can I say about this city? I used to say it is boring, awful and chaotically designed. And in most ways I still think this is true. However there are quite some things to see and do. But be prepared to get lost more than once, and make sure you have a car, because the city is too spread out to walk from one attraction to the next. If you do want to walk prepare to end up roasted and ready to be eaten alive by flies. And that is no joke!!

Pros:"Good museums"
Cons:"The flies, the heat, the roundabouts"
In A Nutshell:"If you're looking for big city life don't bother coming to Canberra!!"

 Nice job! They were saying the same things about Washington, DC when it was as new as Canberra.

 Hell to navigate and dull as ditchwater... And that's what the locals say about it! Yup, Canberra is a difficult place to love!
