Yeah, I get down there a bit, but not the biggest fan of the place.
Apart from the weather a family member there was saying how he loves Brisbane as there's so many nice places to ride closer to the city.
Daughter is currently trying to buy a 1 bed apartment in the city and looking at $500k as the public transport isn't that great. Good job the place pays well because it doesn't have much else going for it.
However... that war museum !
I'm not a military fanatic but it's bloody impressive. I've never see anything that good elsewhere in AU or the UK. Huuuuge and so we'll done.
Agree Tony, War Museum unreal. Only good thing i found about Canberra, except leaving it. :laugh:
Well it was sleeting on Tuesday and sucked. Cold Wed but nice, snow on hills,
Highlight - Bent Spoke - GREAT beer.

I remember the war museum as a child & being totally fascinated by it. Many years later I visited as an adult and was still astounded by the dedication of the curators. :salute: :salute:
The AWM has some VERY rare stuff in their collection.
Including an Me 262 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_262) Schwalbe jet and Me 163 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messerschmitt_Me_163_Komet) Komet rocket plane.
If you are in or visiting Brisbane make sure to check out the ANZAC Legacy Gallery (https://anzac100.initiatives.qld.gov.au/legacy-projects/qld-museum/index.aspx#:~:text=Queensland%20Museum's%20Anzac%20Legacy%20Gallery,and%20its%20legacy%20in%20Queensland.) at the Queensland Museum
There you'll find "Mephisto (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mephisto_(tank))" the world's ONLY remaining example of a German WW1 tank, the A7V Sturmpanzerwagen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A7V).
