Things to do in Canberra

I was talking to someone about what Canberra was like. We lived there for one year, when I became pregnant, and I should share the best parts about living there.

1. Mount Ainslie. It was great that this was part of our backyard. I walked the dogs there nearly everyday. It was incredibly dry and bare and it had lots of kangaroos.
2. Lake Burley Griffin and cycling. If I lived there again, I would use the bicycle more.
3. Farmers markets at Exhibition Centre, near Northbourne Ave.
4. The Markets at Kingston - but after going there three times it seemed like the same old same old.
5. Being able to go places every weekend. The countryside and surrounds are different and beautiful.
6. The air is clean.
7. Kingston / Manuka are nice places to hang out, Braddon has some nice shops, but are they better than Sydney?
8. No traffic.

That's it!
