Yeah my wife grew up in Yarralumla, she said exactly the same thing.
Apparently it's a ghost town on long weekends, well more of a ghost town than it normally is.
The Canberra Day long weekend is usually the last chance a lot of people have to get to the beach, and the weather was perfect for it. The diehards were there today, the casual fan would probably have picked the coast over the footy. Just the way it is when you live in an inland city.
The biggest race day of the year didn't help either, and they were expecting a record crowd of over 6,000 there today as well.
I expect at least 20k next week.
