DIY Wotz On guide for the weekend of 26 December 2008

che 26 December 2008 26 December 2008 3

While most people in Canberra are busily packing up the car and heading down to Batemans Bay today, I’m sure there will be a few of us left around town this weekend who need something to do. So let us know in the comments what there is to do this weekend.

You can even let us know whats happening down the coast that 30,000 other Canberrans might want to get into.

What's Your Opinion?
