I am in Canberra, Australia!

Over here doing some work for a customer and thought i would post a view from the top of a hill ... showing the planned city Canberra. I have not found it as boring as most have told me ... and it is really interesting being in a city that was totally planned from the begining. Was designed by a man from Chicago ... who won a competition with his design. 

Also ... on the way up the hill (in the car) we hit a Kangaroo. They seem to have an ambition run in front of cars! I mean ... we were the only car on the road ... kilometers of road ... and it wanted to run in front of us. odd. Anyway ... it was a glancing blow ... didnt seem to damage the Kangaroo as it hit us ... then jumped off into the bush and took off. Only in Australia.

    Hello, welcome to Australia :)

    Sounds like you enjoyed Canberra, so there's no real need to say "hope you enjoyed Canberra"!

    Nice pic, from that view, it looks like a cross between a landing pad and a scene from 'Independence Day'. I'm trying it out as wallpaper on my desktop and it looks cool.

    Hey there's a fantastic bookshop at the Curtin Shopping Centre.  They have little spots where you can sit and relax with a pile of books - and the coffee is great!
