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.

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.Anonymous

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!Anonymous
