Anyone going to Canberra?

Post: # 1299998Post 3rd generation saint »

Be nice to know so I can find some fellow saints fans to sit with.
I am staying overnight and at 2.00pm the next day I'm doing this:-

So looking forward to this.


Except for the sanity nothing much has been lost.

canberra's my home town so hoping to see a lot of saints with me cheering the boys on. 3rd gen the zoo is really good and if you have any time i reccommend the national gallery as well, munch, warhol, pollack etc very fine institution. :)


This was my father's belief

Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

Yep a road trip has been scheduled in.
Heading up to Wodonga on the Friday to stay with family then continuing on Saturday morning. Probably head back late on Sunday afternoon/evening.

You're coming to Canberra to see a cheetah, 3GS? We're playing GWS, not Essendon.

I liked Roskilde, though to be fair I never saw much of the town itself, just that huge paddock where they pack 100k plus people in once a year for the festival. What's with burning the tents at the end, though?

Living in Canberra until June, Stinger. Consulting up here, but I'll be more than happy to get home permanently. It'll be good to watch the saints live up here. Manuka is turning ino a decent place to watch sport. Night time in April might be challenging. The exact opposite to last Sunday.

WOuld love to but that gane is on my wedding anniversary so I am pretty sure that I won't be at the game. THe irony is that I will be in Canberra oin the 11th and the 12th for work, and would normally stay over an extra night for the game........

Yeah I thought they would be.... with the casino having a "retro" nightclub, I kind of guessed it wouldnt be a high quality establishment :-D

Where are all the sainters meeting up before/ after the game? IF we are meeting up that is...

War memorial would be on my agenda- which other - with limited time- and allowing for coffee time- would be the next 'must visit' spot

Make your partner an offer too hard to refuse....a chance to celebrate your anniversary with fellow forumites( that will be something: Stinger, Bigmart, P66 may be Eastern and Loris thrown in there) and finish off the celebration with a romantic dinner and night at a 5 star establishment in the nation's capital...
