I went for a bit of a drive yesterday and found myself in Bonner. The elevated view to the south from Ida West Street is actually very good. In return for your lengthy adventure you get a wonderful panorama to enjoy which showcases the city of Canberra rather nicely.
People will no doubt debate the merits of living in Canberra’s northernmost location, apparently miles from anywhere, but it’s pretty hard to argue with the view.
Here’s the Google Maps ref: http://goo.gl/maps/GcUCZ
Nice shot, it really is a spectacular view from up there.
For those interested, here’s a panoramic shot from almost that exact location that I took in October last year.
Your eyesight must be better than mine!
Growth area, new houses, big primary school designed with environmental sustainability as a priority, a Woolies and Coffee Guru as the local suburb shops, no more than a 30min work commute to Civic if leave by 7.30, cafes restaurants and department stores under construction across the road… I think there are at least a few merits there
(obviously am a proud resident! hehe)

Well done Gazer,
That view would look pretty impressive at night
Pity they got rid of firecracker night.
I’d imagine those elevated blocks are expensive

And 40 hectares allocated for office accommodation (with the first 500-person office on the way) so for some, work just 5 minutes away!
That’s why i bought on that street
I took this photo on the Hill behind Bonner back in November (hence why Bonner might look a little underdeveloped):

At that point, I think I’m about 50ish metres from the NSW/ACT Border
Superb images from everyone! It’s nice to see Gungahlin in a nicer light.
Interesting to note all the dark coloured roof tiles.
