Im off to sydney in a couple weeks for a weekend off. Someone else is going to look after mum for a couple days. Meeting friends from brisbane in sydney and we care catching a show.

So where do you hail from Spot?

I been everywhere man haha

At the moment I am living in canberra.

Spot

Ahhh me too I have lived there since 1963 so I guess I am a local now!

I have only been here a year and i havent been many places because i have to stay with mum. I was here about 9 years ago though for about 6 months and went to the mint. ATM i sometimes get a couple hours on the weekend and go to the civic to play pool.

Nowhere else i have lived in australia has had such crazy weather. You just cant acclimatise.

Spot

Has been an interesting summer, I cant remember so many 35+ days in previous years.

Not to mention that massive downpour of rain on one day i cant ever remember rain like that in all my time in Canberra. ( a few hundred mm I think it was in a day)

I do feel in the summer Canberra is good in that you usually have reasonably cooler nights and can sleep comfortably! (not so much this year)

Yeah i have actually come here from brisbane this time so the nights are a relief

I was outside when that rain hit and i was a drowned rat. Across the road was underwater. Cant say i have never seen anything like it because i saw something like it a few years ago in QLD but I understand it isnt supposed to happen here.

Reply #17 - Apr 7^th, 2018 at 10:07pm today after a few weeks of lovely weather we have had 35 and again tomorrow as well- they just come out of the blue and it is a shock- I'm wondering if this winter is going to be anything out of the ordinary when these things happen actually

Well I am off to Bali for ten days next week!

I vowed I would never go there but have been talked into it due to a family get together, so I guess I will have to wait and see what it is like.

What are your thoughts?

Dont go.

I got conned into going with a family thing, its just horrible.

There are so many better places to go.

Sorry but you did ask.

Especially Angkor Wat, at the moment you can still walk through the ruins and all over them, I can see that changing as tourist numbers increase which they will, dramatically. Full of Chinese tourists.

Reply #20 - Apr 15^th, 2018 at 4:02am I'm leaving my current home of nearly 2 years: Jervis Bay and heading further south down the coast in about a month. It's been good here, but time to move on soon. I will be 'camping' for a while until I have permanent work in my new area, which gives me a house to rent.

I want to go to Canada next year. I want to do an inside passage cruise (there are a lot of them - around 7 days) then train it across Canada - don't care where i start or finish. I can get the train that goes around Banf etc but that just seems to be a 3 or 4 day round trip. I want to go right across the country. Any suggestions from any Cannucks on here?
