My next door neighbor Eva and I decided to take a roadtrip to her hometown of Canberra in ACT (Australian Capital Territory). We passed through 3 states in a matter of 8 hours (Victoria, New South Wales, and ACT). We left after work Friday and arrived in Canberra around 1:30am Friday night/Saturday morning. We wasted no time and headed out to soak up a bit of nightlife. Mooseheads turned out to be a hot spot for the evening and did not close its doors until 5:30am.
Canberra is quite small with a population of 340,000 and is not known for its nightlife or social scene. However, Eva made a fabulous tour guide and knew all the hot spots. The first night, we concentrated on the bars wrapped around this single block of Canberra's small downtown area. I was impressed with the many hours of nightlife that followed our late arrival.
Of course there was dancing!
Canberra Chris made a great dancing partner for the evening. He'd just been at a wedding, so he was all warmed up and rearing to go.
Later I met a guy from Griffith whose grandfather Robert Trimbole was an Italian-Australian drug lord and organized crime boss in Griffith, New South Wales, featured in the now-televised Underbelly Tale of Two Cities. You just never know who you're gonna meet.
