Ok folks, its a LONG weekend coming up so I suspect a lot of you will be travelling interstate. If so travel safe and don’t forget it’ll likely be double demerit points all weekend.

So besides the cops being out on the roads and tie-less (end of winter uniform so I’ve been told), what are the top things to see and do for those of us staying here in Canberra?

Oh, and don’t forget to change your clock as Daylight Saving Timestarts on Sunday!

Work. 🙁

Remember those Canberra summers by the lakes, the Cotter, Ginninderra Falls or Casuarina Sands? Now most of the swimming spots are dirty or closed. With another hot summer on the way, where will the children play?

The Australian 24 hour Mountain Bike Championships are being run at Stromlo this weekend. Should be a great weekend for those out on the track – unless racing solo, in which case it’s just a weekend of extreme pain.

The Veil, Na Maza, Futility and Boonhorse playing this Friday night at The Basement (Cohen St, Belconnen) from 8pm. $10 entry.

Gotta be one of the most impressive doom lineups this fair city has seen since … well, Doomfest, I suppose.
