Admin Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I have obtained a position with a Government Agency in Canberra and I start on Monday the 16th March, 6 month+ contract so I was wondering whether anyone here would happen to have a 1 bedroom apartment available for rent in Canberra. Better to help someone here first than to go to the agents. If so please let me know ASAP, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Thanks Don, I remember one time when the family and I went there for a visit many years ago and we stayed at a caravan park in one of their units. We woke up in the morning, couldn't have a shower, no water to make a coffee...all the water had frozen in the pipes. The caravan park owner had to come over with an industrial size hair dryer to heat the pipes up. I was dying for a coffee by the time he had got the water flowing again.

DonRamsay Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I lived in Wagga for a couple of years and still remember the winters. The time before last I was in Canberra I had ridden in on my motorbike en route to Phillip Is. That would have made it mid October. I stayed at a motel overnight and the next morning when I staggered outside it was zero degrees Celsius. Jumped on the bike and road to Cooma. As you might expect Cooma was even bloody colder. Oh well, now I go by air with a nice litle CO heated cockpit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Well, I am in Canberra now and staying in an apartment 100 meters from the Air Services building, no I am not working for them, but this apartment is only for short term until I find a cheaper one but work is paying for a week in this one. If anyone reading this is in Canberra, let me know and perhaps we can hook up for a drink some time...what else is there to do in Canberra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone reading this is in Canberra, let me know and perhaps we can hook up for a drink some time...what else is there to do in Canberra Hi Ian, If you're after an activity tonight the Canberra Aero Club's running a little information evening. They run them monthly and get different people to talk - tonight Teraya from Canberra Aviation is giving a talk on CTAF's and Maintenance Releases etc. They're only short sessions but might be a good chance to meet some local aviators. I plan to be there if i can get away from work in Goulburn on time... Aero Club also runs drinkies on a regular basis - details on their website. Info at: http://canberra-aeroclub.com.au/cac/index.php/entry/pilot-information-night-tuesday-17th-march-6pm Also - there's a BBQ up the road at Goulburn (about 1 hour) on the first Saturday of every month (although April's will be second Saturday due to Easter) at the Goulburn Aviation hanger. All are welcome there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Isaac Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Great news Ian, go with it until something you like better comes along; it might turn out to be an extended contract and for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
