Canberra - Post Report Question and Answers

Do you have any other comments?

This place is laid out like a sprawling Reston, Virginia. It's way better. If you are hung up on status and excitement, it's not for you. Having lived in more stressful places, I dig it. Cleaning all the garage and camping gear for the biosecurity regs made it by far the most complicated and time-consuming move we've done. - May 2023


If you are looking for non-stop excitement and a place that is really "different" from home (assuming that is the US or Canada) you will not find it in Australia, but you will find amazingly friendly people, a relatively easy life and lots of kangaroos! - Aug 2020


Canberra is an OK town. The Australians will infuriate you with the antiquated medical system, lack of customer service, and arrogance. You will love the wildlife, the scenery, and often the food. - May 2012


We loved Australia and wish we didn't have to leave early! - Apr 2010


Daycare here is expensive and the waiting list is so long. When you find out that you are pregnant, you should start shopping around and putting your expected child on their lists. I hope this helps! - Oct 2009
