| Introduction | Hi, This is my first blog, and I'm already really enjoying it as a new creative exercise. Writing has always been one of my favourite hobbies, so I hope this medium of blogging offers the kind of incentive [or 'prod' :)] to write much more regularly than I usually have in past several years. Since moving to Canberra from South Australia in the early 1990s, I've become comfortable living in this city: it has masses of free/uncluttered space but also more than enough facilities and choices of activity to keep me occupied. It's great to travel to other cities, but I now feel 'at home' when coming back here. These days I work in a big museum and appreciate the walk to and from work as a chance to daydream. |

If you drive on a parkway why don't they make the whole plane out of that?
I'll happily keep walking to work while some poor town-planning student grapples with that kind of question.
