Canberra Hotels - Reviews and Rates

The days are all muddled now. I'm just gonna talk about the cool things we did. How's that sound? Let's pretend today's the day we went to Canberra (pronounced "CANbra" all one word with the emphasis on the first syllable). H'okay. So we had to get up really early to go to Canberra. It's a three-hour ride by the schedule's reckoning, actually mo...

I've been deathly ill for the past few days. I spent last Thursday night with a very high fever that would not come down. I was really frightened for a little while.. but as it typical with the flu, it eventually gets better. Friday morning, I felt like I just needed to get out of Sydney. In my sickly state, I booked a bus to the suburban style ...

Canberra / Australien Capital Territory Nach langen Streitereien zwischen Melbourne und Sydney wurde 1901 beschlossen, dass eine neue Stadt die Hauptstadt von Australien werden soll. Knapp 30 Jahre spaeter war die neu geplante Stadt Canberra geschaffen und die Stadt plus ihr Umland wurden in das "Australien Capital Territory" umbenannt. Auch heu...

After a swift three hour bus trip we arrived in Canberra. (nothing like Asian bus trips, this one was on time!) Went straight to the YHA where we had booked a double room for the next couple of days. Very clean and new even with a swimming pool but basic room, though with a tv surprisingly. It is in the middle of town. We decided to get straight...

Hello. Today is Sunday, and I'm in the computer lab that now lacks carpeting. It's sort of like a construction site in here. This week was somewhat productive. I mixed my own slip and plaster for mold-making in ceramics. I also fired my first Australian kiln. :) It's becoming hard for me in ceramics because of the conversions that need to happen...

Hello all. I have reached Canberra once again, I ahve a two week stay here until I leave back for Canada. On my way back down from Trinity Beach (north of Cairns 20 minutes)I visited several zoos. North of trinity there was a zoo, Hartley's Crocodile Adventures, it was great. You can see all the Salt and freshwater crocodiles there for a low pri...

So, here are some photos from the Canberra balloon festival that started this weekend. Apparently Canberra is a great place to launch a hot air balloon because it is still, sunny and very cold, all of which makes for good ballooning. Not sure if it makes for such a great start to a Sunday morning though. Apart from the balloons a quick update on...

Day 1 - Christmas Eve The sound of excited 3 and 5 year olds running around was enough to wake us up at 8am. We slowly emerged from our bed to find the rest of the household congregated in the kitchen and Kellie (Stephen's wife) preparing our breakfast...could get used to that. We spent a leisurely couple of hours getting ready, having breakfast...

Drove up with Al to New South Wales. We stayed with his brother in Canberra for a night and toured around the city for part of the day. Looking at all the buildings and doing tourisity stuff. We then drove up to Bathurst for a couple of days, I got to catch up with Beth from Chimney Corners Camp which was awesome!!! While in Bathurst we drove ar...

This morning I decided to stay another day in Canberra - I thought I might as well give the capital a chance, seeing as I would probably not be passing through again. First things first, I bought an overnight Greyhound ticket to Melbourne, checked out of the City Walk Hotel and checked into the Kingston Hotel (on the other side of the lake, near...
