Canberra is one of those underestimated places. There is more happening there than you think but you need to look a little harder and have wider interests than in the bigger cities. BTW I've always heard two theories on the meaning of Canberra, first that it means 'meeting place' which is why it was chosen and second, the place between breasts. Perhaps it simply means the meeting place between two breasts. We should refer to Canberra as the bosom of the nation. May she nourish us all.

I just stumbled across this video.
I was lucky enough to meet Tony when he was at the National Gallery.
He signed a print out from the 70s kid show Play-away as we sang the theme tune together.

I moved to Canberra 11 years ago. I visited all of Canberra plus Queanbeyan in a week, mind you I was only 25. I eventually grew to love Canberra and now I call it home. I wouldn't trade it for anything else. When sun goes down on a week day the city sleeps on weekends the city is alive.

That one dislike is from a meanie we love you Tony you da man

When I was young, the 80's, a group of 5-10 of us, from all around the world, spent months living and working in the country side and bush of Canberra working on conservation projects. Each Friday we would shower and dress in clean cloths riding into Woden singing "Woden Woden Woden" to the tune of Raw Hide. I miss those days. Actually I just realized my profile photo is from Canberra.

Having lived most of my life in Canberra, I am going to guess you shot this on a week day. Since it is a government town, 9-5 Monday to Friday is the norm. If this had been a Saturday, very different story.

I had a week's holiday in Canberra. It's interesting for sure. A nice place to visit.

That scene where he’s standing in the middle of road
In civic on lovely grass, there are trams there now, ☹️

Tony really GREAT STUFF. Keep up the GREAT WORK. SUCH AN ENCOURAGMENT. To stay active for  THE  older generation.!!!NEVER TO OLD TO EXPLORE NEW THINGS AND NEW ADVENTURE,S

Tony should have taken a stroll through Charnwood at 2am.

Buongiorno Tony Robinson’s🥰grazie mille del bellissimo pensiero,molto piacere del interessante video ,Canberra la Mia seconda Patria 15 anni

It also means “meeting place”

Crazy how much development has changed Canberra so quickly,  especially the nature spots and mature trees - most seem to be gone now and more planned to be taken down. A lot of the old buildings also taken down without warning or consideration, and WBG's vision isn't even being acknowledged in the development process anymore - the government only cares about the money, not about the heritage and sadly no-one is stopping them. Actually quite painful to watch this now.

I've visited Canberra twice and found it boring. But I also know people who've lived there and they loved it. Maybe Canberra is one of those places it is better to live than to visit.

I live in Canberra and love it here so many interesting places!:) Its a beautiful charming place:) Canberratopia
