Recommendations Options for social/drop in sports (ideally night time)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Moved here in March and have gotten established in some social tennis circles but I am really eager to play more sport. Ideally stuff thats accessible past 7pm on anyday of the week, I live in Braddon but can drive.

Stuff like random soccer teams, badminton, volley ball etc.

Recommendations visiting end of month - tips?

4 Upvotes

hi there! American here. I am visiting Australia for the first time. looking for transportation tips and daytime activities.

I’ll be staying around City Centre. I won’t have a car. What sort of destinations are within reach?

For activities, I love a good park, not as interested in museums sadly, but I can pretend to be cultured enough to enjoy an art exhibit. It would be cool to bike around the lake. My idea of vacation is sitting on a dock or shore, fishing until I am sunburnt. Not a huge shopper but I like a good local coffee or bookstore.

Recommendations Is Franklin a good suburb?

My family is looking to buy a house or townhouse and it looks like Franklin has a lot of listed properties within our budget. We have always rented in the belconnen area and loved it.

What do you think of Franklin, especially for a young family.

Hi I'm living in canberra and i'm very into miniature making (warhammer 40k) and i just wanted a few small items 3d printed to kitbash with and not needing to break the bank by buying a 3d printer. I've gone online and searched places to get stuff done but its either the website is gone or they no longer 3d print.

Recommendations Looking for people to boulder/climb with

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am a Dutchie (30M) visiting Canberra for my PhD from the 6h of Sept until late October. I was hoping to do some outside bouldering or climbing close to Canberra. I am keeping an eye on the bouldering gyms in Canberra and any activities they might host, but since I am only there for a short period I hoped to get to know some people quickly 😄. Please be in touch if you'd like to show me some local rocks!

I was driving to Gordon via Cotter road from Duffy when i saw a lot of green dust/smoke/mist that was floating over the mountains.

Any clue what that is? I suspect pollen but im not too sure though cause it had a crisp barbecue like smell.

If it is pollen, my condolences to the pepes with allergies
