- Canberra locals are a bit insular.

Good luck anyway!

LOL quite right but the government did allocate quite a bit for the public transport in the budget the other day (not holding my breath though that it will make a huge difference). Oh and bring one of those natty little credit card scrapers for the ice on the windows - thank goodness for our new garage after donkeys years of scraping!!! The other thing is that in the winter the airport can get fogged in which is a real P*I*T*A especially as we are flying out for a holiday home in July.
