Yeah guys - from a road safety point of view you don't want to be driving all night....
Any chance of taking off early Friday arvo? or even straight from work? At a guess 9 hours to Canberra is a fair run so a 1am arrival in the ACT would be better than a dusk to dawn run. Gives you guys ome sleep before checking out Canberra for a good day and a half or so before returning back
As for things to do - while you're here we'll make sure there's plenty of good photo opportunities, fun stuff and havoc to be raised.
We have a couple of good Lakeside spots where the cars can be positioned to take in the cars and the nation monutments like parliament House, War memorial, etc ect Three good scenic lookouts - 2 are 'traditional' for their Canberra views the third is behind my work and give a great 'different' outlook on Canberra.
There's stacks of attractions that are unique to here, the fun stuff like Questacon will let us all show our maturity etc But hey there's a lot here and Kitty and I will make sure there's plenty of tourist brochures at hand so people can say "how 'bout this place" rather than second guess what people want to see
If you're up for it we could cruise to check out the 'foolly sik cruise' scene in Canberra - but that's mostly a highly policed Friday night thing with much less happening on Saturdays.
And then there's Bangers run out to Fyshwick to assist peopel with fireworks purchases and anythign else the nations capital offers!
Well that's what we can offer anyways
