So it's a bit like the facilities at Norwood Oval then. :)

Always busy mate, trial game is when Port v Geelong is on at Aami Stadium so the Cats take precedence as that's a real game and I'll be in Melbourne watching Collingwood v Essendon on Anzac Day.

eastlake has pulled out of this combined game with queanbeyan and apparantly the sydney swans have allowed 8 to 10 of their reserve players to compete in this trial

For those over 18, and only for those 18. The ACT is one of only 2 places in Australia that sell X rated videos that only adults can buy and watch.

Im working out where to stay in Canberra.
Im leaning towards staying in Civic as there would be most action there, any other suggestions?
(Looking at the Novatel, Ive also had the Waldorf recommended to me but that's more apartment style and I just need a room)

I'd prefer something right in the heart of civic so I don't have to walk far to where most of the nightlife is.
There's quite a few that side of the Lake but that doesn't really interst me as I'd be just as likely to drown walking back to my pub.

Green square at Manuka is around the corner, that's better than most places in town anyway!
