Mate, thats how I spent my 7 years in Canberra. Doing that, playing footy, pissing it up etc. I had a pretty good time.
Its OK. Just OK. Everything there is easy (specially the girls). Still a good amount of deadshits. Its pretty much Newcastle inland with a higher average wage,trade union dominated, less crime and a shithouse football coach. White people as far as the eye can see.
Gets cold in winter - go skiing - and hot in summer - go to the coast. Its closer to the coast than the mountains.
It lacks soul though, no doubt about that. Very sterile.
Yeah a couple of years ago i looked into getting into the public sector and moving down there. Took a visit with a couple of mates just to see if i could entertain myself on the weekends. It was that sterile nature of the people and the place that got to me. Basically i was 22 and the nightlife sucked and if i couldn't have the beach in my backyard there just wasn't going to be enough to do it for me. One thing that could've changed it for me is if i could still play rugby at a decent level because i'm sure there would be some clubs down there that you could have a good time with, but alas, my backs f**ked so that's kind've off the cards.
