Haha I'll reply cause I'm bored too :O

Favourite restaurant... Italian Kitchen in Kaleen ever since Cafe Della Piazza closed :P

Best steak - Charcoal Grill

Fave shop - Portmans!! Welcome to DFO and anywhere that sells shoes, Steve Madden is a very nice addition to Canberra.

Car wash at Mitchell goes alright, always less busy than the Gunners one.

Bestest food van - GSpot!

Fave pubs - All Bar and Kingos

Fav roundabout is that big one near the war memorial at the very end of that road ;)

And Fav online shop is RHD Japan. Lotsa Jap goodies for my car.

Ok everyone else's turn to talk shit now.

Well, I'm procrastinating, so...

Pub? All Bar Nun is close, but if I'm in town there will often be a stop in at PJ's. The Kingo is never a bad place to spend an arvo.

Eat? Agree with Kat above about the Kaleen shop, but since I've moved I've become partial to Mee Sing at the Lyneham shops - CHEAP chinese, always friendly and never a bad meal in an almost weekly visit! Plus they deliver when it rains and I'm lazy :O

Steak? Mine at home, sadly I haven't had a better one in Canberra :P Was pleasantly surprised by Jacksons near Circular Quay when in Sydney a while back though... $14 inc a schooner of Squires and the steak was very tasty.

Shop? Not really my thing, probably Aldi or Bunnings :S

Car? Visit BP every few weeks, Waves Car Wash in Gungahlin is a good enough reason to drive up there every month or so... haven't been to one in Mitchell, might have to check it out as I didn't know there was one there...

Drive? GDE is nice and smooth with my suspension ;) Roads out Mt Stromlo or Uriarra way are nice on occasion...

its just off of Flemmington road diagonally opposite the tip.

Mooseheads sucks... Unless you like waiting 20 minutes to order a drink, being surrounded by teenie sl_ts, getting in a fight with a bunch of 18 - 19 year old wankers who have something to prove, then getting home and having to wash the soles of your shoes because you made the mistake of wading through the inch deep lake of urin in the mens toilets. :wave:

LOL ok I shall leave you boys to your randomness >_<

The pancake parlour is so wrong. I was with someone who ordered a steak that came out with a pancake as well (guessing you'd prolly call it a crepe) but savoury or not that's just weird!!!

Food- Thai Amarin, Erindale

Movies- Hoyts Woden* Tuesdays only :D

Chillout- Mount Jerra* Can't go there anymore >_<

Drive- Back Track, Sutton Rd

Best Food Van- Agree with kat, GSpot* i can never find it though

and also agree with gus about pancake parlour

GSpot= Bacon & egg roll with 1-2 mates

The Parlour= 1am Hunger hangout with a group

Both just as good as each other

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
