I get sick of hearing people rag on Canberra. It's a great place. Far cleaner and more beautiful than any other city in Aus IMO. As for boring, well, usually the people who complain about that are the ones who have a pretty close minded idea of a 'good time'. The biggest difference between us and all the other capitals is that we aren't on the coast. It's no biggie though, because 1.5 hours drive east will land you in some of the nicest beaches in Australia.

This thread continues to make me laugh out loud. The irony meter is off the chart!
Canberra imo is a very clean place. No doubt it's also a very beautiful part of Australia. Personally I get bored there but that's subjective to the person. I wasn't aware Canberra gets a flogging as a bad place to be. No offense meant. 
I woudn't call myself close minded. I don't need illustrious parties or nightclubs to enjoy myself, but a bit of a nightlife and if I knew more (any) people it'd be great.
however they did let me into the canberra casino when I was 17, rawk!
I dislike Canberra.
I love the rural suburbs around Canberra.
The territory itself is a very beautiful place, but the city blows. It kinda reminds me of The Truman Show. It's so clean... so perfect... it's weird.

I thought the international homes are pretty cool in Canberra, i'm not sure if they are embassy offices or what but they look cool.
What freaked me out was everything closing at 3pm. ok I could be exaggerating a little.
31c here right now. Melbourne weather,,,,,you know.
If Laitimour is about I'll send you some LeTan for that 13c London weather.

Truman show, what a classic. LOL, Still being clean is a good thing and if Canberra stays that way I can appreciate the people there are due the compliment.
According to research, Australia has the honour of being the world's filthiest country per capita, in the world.
I would have thought that honor would have gone to Thailand

I hope it's cooler tomorrow, some of us have to bust out teen town for VCA in the heat! Sweaty hands are NO fun.
