Anyone know what the deal is with Gungahlin Drive between Well Station Drive and Sandford Street citybound? There’s been a few mornings this week where its gotten to be like there is a bottleneck like there was when the GDE was one lane – only once you crawl to the lights at Sandford Street, [...]

Is Corin Forest Closed?
Both their own website and the ACT Govt’s “Visit Canberra” page state it should be open from 10-4 public holidays, but we drove out there for the first time yesterday and it was closed.
I feel I missed something…

Looking for a tweet about what the work on the playground at the Platypus shops was, I came across this odd tweet from the ACT Economic Development Directorate.

Block 18 Section 44 Ngunnawal consultation open #Canberra #haveyoursay http://bit.ly/SqJqoI

With even the most staunch “it’s too early” objector having to can it come the weekend because its December, it’s time to start the thread for 2012.
I have a nearly two year old now, that’s a good enough excuse for me to get out and go look at other people’s lights without needing [...]

Many thanks to current and former RiotAct staff, Tim and Rachel, for helping me out with re-emailing that voucher, after I failed to print it [...]

I’m surprised with the number of people prepared to offer up an opinion on the prospects of GWS on here that someone hasn’t done this already, but I’ve started an AFL Dream Team League for RiotAct followers to compete in.
League Code is 728447, League Name “The RiotAct Rabble”.
Post a reply here if it fills up [...]

Back where I originate from, some community minded types have decided to redesign the local clock tower.
Putting aside the rest of the aesthetics of LED screens and what have you, they have proposed to drop a flagpole on the top that looks like a miniature version of the one we have atop Parliament House.
Does this [...]

Anyone in the know as to what the building going in at the Gold Creek Country Club is?
Big white thing next to the Tennis courts backing on to Curran Drive.
At first my wife and I had assumed it was either club lime moving to somewhere less cramped, or an indoor tennis [...]

Ask Riotact – Childcare, Northside.

I’ve had a grumble in the past about drivers on the GDE who see the queue in the right hand lane between Mitchell and the Barton Highway overpass and so switch to the left hand lane, so as to pass a few cars and shove their way in further up the line at the merge [...]

Just how many Pizza stores can one area support?

Anyone else had these guys push you around?

Has anyone else wondered (or can anyone explain) why it is that on our great and glorious single lane GDE, in the section between Belconnen Way and Gininderra Drive, time was taken (and money spent) to put in some small “garden beds” of bushes and little trees in the middle section between the [...]

Having seen warnings of scams on All Classifieds on RA before, I thought I’d ask if any of the readers had ever dealt with a seller I have found on there. They list their company name as A.I.Trilogy. I am looking at a Computer upgrade and a couple of theirs look appealing. [...]
