    Your delivery on stuff is hilarious. I laughed out loud at a few parts. My wife and I are looking to move down to Canberra from Sydney soon. It seems like when we tell people there are two reactions. 1) "BUT WHY CANBERRA?!?!?!" 2) "Oh yeah, Canberra's pretty nice! You're gonna love it!" We are introverts and don't mind getting away from all the hustle bustle of Sydney and the housing prices.

      Thanks mate :) also I would definitely recommend Canberra if that is your goal, that’s exactly what Canberra is. The good bits of a country town combined with the good bits of living in a capital city

    The coast is only 2 hours away from Canberra, about the same time it takes to get from Parramatta to one of Sydney's beaches via public transport.

    Haha native Canberran here who moved to the Far South Coast years ago because I was so sad there was "no beach" in Canberra. Turns out when I live near one I don't actually go there, so I'm moving back to Canberra.

    You mentioned having a car is necessary, but I see that your road footage with from a motorcycle helmet. Did you have both when you were living there, or if you just had the motorcycle, was that enough?
    Your delivery on your insights was hilarious!

    What's the conversion for Aussie dollars to British pounds ? In the UK a bacon and egg buttie costs about £3.50 - £4.00 . .$14 seems a lot for bacon and egg sandwich !!

  • @Jeffzda
    @Jeffzda Před 2 lety +1

    That whole "which department do you work in?" nonsense is more likely from career public servants and a huge portion of them travel here from other parts of Australia to do grad programs. I'm actually from Canberra and couldn't really tell you about the hierarchy of public service departments except to say that people from DFAT seem to think they're a bit of alright.

    If you like boring and public servants then Canberra place for you. Oh and of course a lake right in the middle full of carp.
    Lived there for a few years and regretted every minute of it.
    It has crime, druggies and homeless people just like many places but for some reason most Canberrans think they are so much better than the rest of us humans.
    Nice outside of Canberra I must say but I will take Sydney over Canberra any day
