On Capital Hill
"Why the hell would you go to Canberra for a romantic weekend?"
Yes, my colleague does have a point. Why would you want to spend a cozy weekend in our nation's capital?
Why not I say! Here are some of my top reasons:
- It's quiet.
- The air smells good.
- You can rent a segway. Wiiiii!
- There's hardly any traffic.
- There are lots of museums.
- They have Koko Black. I repeat they have Koko Black. End of discussion.
- You can actually spot a real Australian bird or two. And no offense to the imposter Sydneysider the Indian Myna bird, I saw a hawk, huge green parrots (Swift Parrots methinks), Cockatoos and Galah's. I haven´t seen that much colour since I left Perth, it was doing my head in!
- Oh, and I forgot to mention that the drive is straight down the highway from Sydney. Easy as.
