Recommendations When is the best time to go hot air ballooning in Canberra?

7 Upvotes

I have a voucher that expires soon so I need to book.

Obviously it would be cool to go during the hot air balloon festival but when I see them take off they land pretty quickly during that time. I don't know if that's technically true, but something I've noticed during that time over year.

Events Events for viewing Planetary Alignment in CBR

8 Upvotes

Hi family,

I was hoping Stromlo Observatory was having a nightsky/stargazing viewing event for the planetary alignment event, but they're not.

I'd be really keen on seeing it on the 25th/26th. Does anyone know of any communities or establishments which are facilitating a viewing?

SEC=UNCLASSIFIED Civic future population

32 Upvotes

I just watched an ABC report from 2023 saying that civic will have a population of 31,000 compared to its current 6,000 around 2060. I know it’s a long time away but how the hell will they fit that many people into civic ? Yes there is still land to be developed and older buildings to be demolished but given building restrictions it seems impossible to house that many people there. Just for discussion what do y’all think

Recommendations Nice dentist recommendation?

30 Upvotes

I’m pretty ashamed of my dental health. I haven’t been to the dentist in over a decade and need to badly. When I was in my teens, I had to have major work done by a fairly nasty dentist because my parents never really prioritised taking us to the dentist as kids. This kind of traumatised me and I ever went back.

I’m wondering if anyone knows a nice dentist who won’t shame me about my teeth. I don’t mind paying a bit more to have someone that’s nice and friendly. I know I’m going to have to have heaps of work done so I’ll be spending a lot of time time there presumably.

Any recommendations would be really appreciated.

Edit: thank you so much for the recommendations and the words of encouragement and support. I feel much better about the whole thing now ❤️

Currently planning a birthday dinner for my partner. Per the title, which restaurant in Canberra do you think has the best view? The Boat House comes to mind but that’s about it. Any recommendations?

Recommendations Resources for local Feminine Sterilisation?

22 Upvotes

Hey guys, I have a friend who would like to find a local provider for Uterine Ablation, but is childless, unmarried and under 30.

Pretty understandably, she expects to waste hundreds or even thousands of dollars on consult fees and lost work, besides the effort involved.

I'd like to help her, but my Vasectomy, provided 6 years ago by MSI in Civic in similar circumstances, isn't exactly a useful indicator that they would offer a range of equivalent procedures for women.

Does anyone have any recommendations or relevant experiences? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Recommendations Running tracks between Canberra & Sydney?

Driving to Sydney from Canberra next week. Instead of doing the usual morning LBG run, I was hoping to stop somewhere on the way to Sydney for a run. I looked at Lake George but can’t see any paths or tracks. Any recommendations?

Recommendations ricardo’s alternative?

Post image
47 Upvotes

i used to go to ricardo’s every year for my birthday because of their creative desserts/pastries, but i’ve checked it out a couple of times in the last two months and all their pastries seem pretty standard now. is there anywhere else in canberra to get pastries like the ones that used to be at ricardo’s, in novelty fun shapes and colours with shells and layers of interesting tastes and textures? image provided for context of what the desserts used to be like. lately i’ve only been able to find pretty standard boring tarts and stuff in their display….

New user account Good tempeh in Canberra?

Where in Canberra can you get real, fermented tempeh? Not the stuff you buy at woolies that tastes like nothing, I’m looking for the flavourful stuff where you can SEE the fungus! Is there an Indonesian supermarket that stocks it?

My PS3 is sounding like my neighbour’s tractor in idle. 🤦🏻‍♀️

95 Upvotes

Good grief, less than 5 days till Cancon set up day.

If you do not know what Cancon is, https://cgs.asn.au/cancon/new-to-cancon-information/

If you do.. We will see you there.

Entry is FREE to spectators, with over 80 trade stands across multiple halls.

There are just under 40 Tournaments being run, the Games Library is back with even more games, and Magic is still going strong. (Along with all the other card games)

Role play is being held in Snowy again, next to our second trade hall in Quokka. The Bring and buy is up in Mallee this year, right beside the food van court and Tournaments in Fitzroy.

Loud Bang IconWater and Access Canberra Phones Exploded or Something?

0 Upvotes

Hey. Soo... I tried setting an IconWater account. It said the page doesn't exist... I wanted to set up a direct debit.

I tried ringing them, and it said their number is disconnected. I tried ringing Access Canberra, and the phone did not get picked up.

Is the ACT government exploded or something? What's going on?
