Anyone live in / off to Canberra?

We are planning on moving to Canberra – are we mad? I cannot find anyone else going? Why is this? My husband is in quite a specialist line of work and most of the jobs seem to with the government in Canberra.

Most people prefer the coastal cities/towns, Canberra is well inland. I think that could have a lot to do with it...Lol x

I have been to Canberra many times . It is about 2 hrs drive inland from the coastal town of Batemans Bay . Many of its residents are Federal Government employees and as such tend to be transient . It is a modern city with excellent facilities , a bit sterile and organised for my liking . The weather there is very cold in Winter ( down to about -6C overnight ) but can also be very hot and dry in Summer . Its only about 3hrs drive to Sydney .

Best of luck with your move .
