The Next Place To Be

Having studied in Canberra from 1995 to 1999, I missed out on the last big town centre creation. That Town centre is Gunghalin and I missed out in that I didn't get a new home there while they were going cheap.

I picked up my inlaws house nice and cheap and while it is half way up a hill, the neighbours trees block the view. They are big ugly rubbish dropping trees to boot and they endanger my phone line.

But I'm not here to whine about that, I'm here to crow about this. The planned developments for the Molonglo Valley.

That there is pristine, untouched farmland with an idyllic creek, spectacular views of the mountains and the most central location in Canberra I've ever seen outside Civic. They have to kick off the existing lease holders, clean up the decades of agricultural industry, generally tidy up the place and pollute the creek. But if they put it together nicely with big suburban roads and decent sized blocks I'll be in like flynn.
