Canberra, the city without a soul Reply to this message
It has been said that Canberra is the city without a soul. Why does Canberra have no soul? What do Canberrans think about this statment? Your comments are appreciated.

I think your right, crazy. They are too apathetic to even respond to this thread. They just could not care less if they are souless people. No substance, no character, no personality. Why do we even both maintaining Canberra? I mean, the city is just a big monument, afterall. It serves no economic function and just costs the Australian tax payer a lot of money. Maybe we should just close Canberra down and move the federal government to Melbourne?

Is it still like that? Wow. I went to Canberra 20 years ago and driving through it didn't see one person. Not a single soul. I found them all though, they were at the workers club!

Just hoons or straights.

Re:Canberra, the city without a soul Reply to this message
Soul ? Haven't you noticed all the trees, animals and birds ? Don't they feed your souls ? When you work long hours, as the average Canberran does, do you really think we want to be cruising or walking the streets ? Besides for many months of the year the nights are cold and most people stay in the warm, be it at friends, in restaurants or the clubs. I like many of thousands, love Canberra, and I have travelled the world so not easily impressed.

I will arise and go now,and go to ATC,
And a small cabin build there,of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

Anyone wanting to visit the place need to know that it is quite normal for people to fall over without warning. Join in.

Re:Canberra, the city without a soul Reply to this message
Hi Ann, I have a soul.

Actually, as you know I am a lovely decent person, however I am classed and labelled by the community due to the plight of mental disability and the horror of no assistance. I am on my own to recover because assistance is far too difficult for all of the resourses of government to grapple with. Naturally, this has me wondering how I could recover using my own meagre resourses when those resourses of government are out of their depth. Thus the government expects me to achieve what the government claims not to be able to achieve.

Love you Ann.

Cheers

Well, I guess it seems as if I have fallen over. But look how thick my skin is, the graze barely ate through to the bone.
