it’s my home…i was born on the lake and spent the first 10 years of my life here… i always found it boring, my dad was involved in the political/journalism lifestyle and i was dragged around in it at an early age, I met ambassadors from all over, pretty famous footy players and a bunch of other characters…as a kid that doesnt seem very exciting, but when we’d go to the italian embassy i’d learn how to make pizza with the ladies in the kitchen, and when i’d fly to sydney to visit my mum, i’d often chat with people my dad knew on the plane.
I’ve lived in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Tasmania…but Canberra will always be my home, its where I always end up coming back to.
Canberra can be an exciting place – if you’re visiting and you like the nightlife of sydney – than you wont find it here, if you’re into culture than you will find it here.
Canberra’s nightlife isn’t non existent, its just smaller, and quieter. You have to know where to go and with who.
The culture is what makes it stand out, it may not be a huge city like our two neighbours melbourne and sydney, but its has an eclectic feel where its mixed with the political works and the cultural side, along with university students, and the kids running around questacon.
its got skyfire, and floriade, queens birthday fireworks weekend, and the only gay bar cube where there tend to be more hetero’s, its got the UCBAR on thursday nights, The lighthouse hits home on wednesday into thurs mornings, its got sketchycrew.com weekly gig updates, it has the beach and snow within 2 hours drive, it’s canberra…
its will always have my heart, and will always be my home. No matter where I am.
