Good to see you all!

Just a quick note from me to say how good it was to spend a few hours with you all last week. Face to face is definitely better than ear to ear! Trust you all made it home safely -- I finally got home yesterday after a very pleasant weekend in the nation's capital. I do like Canberra (and yes, I know I will now be tarred and feathered and banished from Sydney!). Robyn, thanks for all you did to get us together and to ensure the value of our shared time.

LLOs visit Canberra

While we're still figuring out the date we're all descending on Canberra (see the Doodle survey at http://www.doodle.ch/q5civdk44n2mtwbf) doesn't mean we can't start scheming...

Some of us may be spending some leisure time there, and Canberra being the hub of all things cool and chic, we'd better start fitting it all in. Last time I visited Canberra I was about 8, so if you have any suggestions for things to do and see, leave your comments here.

My children have been on school trips to Canberra and highly recommend the shelving robots at the National Library (please tell me if they're just pulling my leg).

Suggestions for restaruants - happy to let Robyn give us the local favourites, but I liked this site which tells you where to go pollie watching (http://www.taste.com.au/news+features/articles/370/canberra).
