Moving to Canberra - A Review

Just some thoughts on what it's like to move from Sydney to Canberra, Australia.

The coast is only 2 hours away from Canberra, about the same time it takes to get from Parramatta to one of Sydney's beaches via public transport.

Haha native Canberran here who moved to the Far South Coast years ago because I was so sad there was "no beach" in Canberra. Turns out when I live near one I don't actually go there, so I'm moving back to Canberra.

When you mentioned how everything closes at 2pm on Sunday’s I felt pain because of how true it is

Your delivery on stuff is hilarious. I laughed out loud at a few parts. My wife and I are looking to move down to Canberra from Sydney soon. It seems like when we tell people there are two reactions. 1) "BUT WHY CANBERRA?!?!?!" 2) "Oh yeah, Canberra's pretty nice! You're gonna love it!" We are introverts and don't mind getting away from all the hustle bustle of Sydney and the housing prices.

Hey Jordan, very amusing take on Australia’s capital city. What suburbs would you recommend if working in Greenway area?

What's the conversion for Aussie dollars to British pounds ? In the UK a bacon and egg buttie costs about £3.50 - £4.00 . .$14 seems a lot for bacon and egg sandwich !!

Lived in Canberra my whole life I can’t even say anything, this was spot on even the drivers

[krillas]

do you possibly have a video explaining how to get the canberran equivalent to an opal card i'll be moving to canberra net year and don't own a car so it would be very helpful :)

[MadCow]

Nice vid! Going to Canberra for a week pretty soon. Top eats? I've got Zaab and The Italian Place on my list.

I'm going to move from Sydney to Canberra for work at the end of this month. Headache with renting a place to settle down, more expensive than I was expected. You video is great. Thanks for some information. )))

You mentioned having a car is necessary, but I see that your road footage with from a motorcycle helmet. Did you have both when you were living there, or if you just had the motorcycle, was that enough?
Your delivery on your insights was hilarious!

for people flying in to mess around for a couple of days, how's the public transport? doesn't really look like a walk-able city from google maps.

[koreanfriedchildren]

I'm from Sydney and considering moving to Canberra. Do you work a government job?

[Nyanyk]

a whole highway closed because some dummy stopped still IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY and their car got wrecked horribly (they were okay) this happened when I was going to camp cooba in year 6

[chloepham]

How do I find the trustworthy resources of rental in Canberra?

[rochelle]

Thumbs up for that, as it was quite amusing while also informative.

[Shanikaish]

I'm moving to Canberra from Melbourne for work next Jan when should I start looking for places to rent.

[denisetsai]

Hi I might move to there because of work, how much range salary you reckon is accepted?

[Jeffzda]

That whole "which department do you work in?" nonsense is more likely from career public servants and a huge portion of them travel here from other parts of Australia to do grad programs. I'm actually from Canberra and couldn't really tell you about the hierarchy of public service departments except to say that people from DFAT seem to think they're a bit of alright.

Churr bro. Thinking of moving to CBR, good review
