Canberra drivers seem like the worst until you realise nobody is actually from Canberra, they all learned to drive in Sydney or Melbourne then moved here with their shit driving habits from being stuck in the cesspools

biiiig biiiiiig ramble about canberra under the cut (plus some 2025 and 2004 comparison pics of the war memorial!!)

iiii was gonna write a post about canberra immediately after coming back from canberra but i was soooo tired, not because it was particularly tiring but i use these ~going away~ trips as a way to get back on my own timezone lol

so. i did enjoy it!! also i felt the need to write about it when i came back (as i said) but after going to jindy and thredbo i didn't feel the need. that's interesting i guess. not sure what it means

so i have liked canberra for a while but this is the first time besides when school took us that i stayed there for a couple of nights (the rest of the time it was day trips... i don't know how many times i've been to canberra but in the day trips years it was about once a year, or once every two years)

eta: on this note, ever since the M8 link opened... wow it takes me 2h 35m to get to the outskirts of canberra now. that's insane!! that's like how long it takes to get to bathurst. canberra's very firmly ~day trip material now, i think. and i would drive bathurst in one go (and have done before, though it was in the big car so i was a bit smashed by the time i got there lol (it's loud)) so... yeah canberra could be ~in one go~ too now

i love that it's small lmao, because that means you can leave it faster HAHA. sydney on the other hand can be SUCH a slog, esp if you're going south. south-west is best for me now. but omg, so wild to see all those houses popping up at spring farm when before that hill was just farmland... in fact i didn't even notice them the last time i passed them in dec on the way back from jindy, so did they really just pop up between then and feb...?

anyway, other things i like about canberra: the traffic lmao there's hardly any. esp on sunday 5pm, heading down to woden on parkes way and then tuggers way... so little traffic!! insane. sydney feels jampacked all the fucking time

i love that i'm starting to learn canberra in terms of roads/routes after being there a few days

as an aside, i haven't been to belco in years. huh

another thing i like/always makes me laugh: LANE ONE FORM

and as for a thing i don't like: having to do LANE ONE FORM but you both have to signal

another thing i don't like: some of these junctions would absolutely fucking suck if canberra had sydney levels of traffic. there's a lil parking space next to the lake on parkes way, and the exit back onto it is actually awful, like, ~break your neck~ kinda awful, because it's like a sorta on-ramp, but there's no space to speed up, so basically it's just a turn left and you have to look backwards for it. it should just be a 90 deg normal turn left

interesting to see also how chill people are when it comes to crossing intersections/going into a roundabout. like, i'm talking... huge gaps/giving way a lot. idk how to say this actually. but if you drive south-west sydney particularly bankstown (and probably other areas too but idk about it), around a roundabout, it's like, every gap and opportunity is just taken, and you can get honked if you're dawdling. so. idk this is not really a ~it's bad/good~ re what canberra drivers/traffic is doing, it's like, sleepy country town type things, which i don't mind, but i think as canberra's population increases those gaps will come down

on another topic. i've noticed that in some cases the cost of restaurant food is like, pre-covid sydney prices. v nice lmao

we didn't eat out anywhere! we were thinking of doing it. but it didn't happen. just ate breakfast and dinner at the airbnb, and snacked for lunch. i feel like all the travelling we've done to non-city places has just prepped us for... not going out to eat for example/having everything we need. also i just really like planning and executing the plan lol (like our first day there was just food shopping, which is what i'll do again when we go to adaminaby, which only has a general store haha)

speaking of which. i did enjoy the farmers market on saturday... think it's called capital region farmers market. i wish i took a pic of the name of the bread stall because that bread is NOM. and the spicy chorizo was from the wagga meat people. i like that (obv) when you go to diff places the food comes from diff/local places

anyway, for the touristy things... wow the museum was SO much (and not even all the exhibits were open (i think two? were closed for reno skjfng)). and the war memorial was one of my fave places when they took us there in high school, and it was still very good. but we consciously made the decision to only do WWI, and come back for the rest later (maybe even in stages because there's so much) because the big room at the back is closed for reno and i LOVE that room

I SAW THE CENTURION ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BUILDING OUTSIIIIIIDE YAAAAS. i wish they didn't put it (and the other two) on a pedestal, because it would've been cool to stand next to it and see how big it really is. the other two things was ... well, an armoured car (like an EBR in wot lol) and the other thing was idk. both had a top speed of 100kmh, but the centurion's top speed is 35kmh. seeing it did make me want to get it in wot though

there were some tanks in the WWI section too (a british one not in wot, and a french one that is, or something similar/like it (eta: actually i think i may have confused this 'memory' with seeing the photo of it from 2004 haha)), and then we had a veryyyyy quick look at the start of the WWII section because TANK. they had one in the entry area and i recognised it as italian before looking at the info card thing heh. and they also had some cool cars/trucks. the truck wheels were massive

(i found my photos of the war memorial i took in 2004 when the school took us there and lol i was taking photos of the same kinds of things as i was taking now)

anyway, re fyshwick, i like that (what seems to be) everything is in the same area. i finally bought a fridge!!! (on sale, even :3) because i wanted to buy and bring home frozen sausage rolls from the three mills bakery haha. also it'll just be really good for long trips. it's like my fave thing i bought on this trip :3 it's a kings 20L fridge, and we just ran it off the cigarette lighter. it seems to turn off when the engine turns off, which is cool actually, because at least you know it's not draining your battery. i still took out the plug though just in case

alsooo because i was dissatisfied with the mugs at the airbnb (i'm very picky with mugs) and because i was intending to buy this particular one for AGES (and also their tentworld is ALSO at fyshwick, whereas in sydney tentworld and 4wd supacentre are not remotely in the same location...), iiiii finally got a bamboo mug. wow i love it. it's 600ml and just really nice to hold and i can't wait to go away again and use it lol. (also i finally got campfire gloves from there... like, fuck it, i wasn't sure if it was the best one to buy so i stalled on it for like 6 months but now i'm like. just fucking buy it)

anyway. didn't get to go to see the bonsais at the arboretum because by that point we had the fridge (being a freezer) in the car and the parking lot basically has no shade. btw the fridge is really good. it managed to reach -18C after a while~ (i set it to -20C)

onnnn the last day we went to bungendore (a slight detour before going home) to check out the woodwork art gallery thing. wow that was really good. lmao if you want to buy something it's so expensive. but some pieces were really really lovely. i have photos lmao

actually i should go through the photos i took and see if i wanna add anything to this post. maybe add some pics too. hm. (i actually still haven't gone through all the pics from jindy/thredbo)

btw, one regret from this trip is that I DIDN'T GET TO BUY A SOFT TOY, i didn't see any that i like

OH, and, not really a regret, but the pompeii exhibit at the museum is not worth $25. the first half was good (that bread!! the plaster... cast? of the people...) and the eruption sound/video is good, but the second half was mostly videos and like. i could watch that at home on youtube. so, yeah, i'd say the exhibit is not worth going

eta the BREAD:

the gift shop had some nice stuff but it was almost certainly all overpriced, and also, i feel like your 20s are about buying things without reservation, and now in your 30s i'm like "do i really need that fancy teacup, it is very beautiful but i'll use it like once and then it'll just collect dust"... and so i take a pic of it instead hahfjg

mmkay gonna check what pics i have now and maybe add some

btw after getting an airbnb with no nice view out the window (i didn't even go onto the balcony lol i forgot), i have decided that i'm gonna try to always get a nice view. esp since i try to travel in the off-season. we had a lovely one at jindy and a shite one in canberra, so yeah, you feel it. i mean it doesn't really MATTER but it's also like, why NOT, if it's available and about the same price

as an aside, people seem to get up earlier at jindy, i guess for obvious reasons. even on a weekend. but mm canberra civic is just a very sleepy city. SO much quieter than sydney lol. i guess this would be one cbd where i would stay (like, if i would live there), but also... perhaps not

okay photossss:

rainbow roundabout:

canberra centre got an upgrade since i last saw it:

old bus depot markets - these were cool, ESP the train (the wheels move and the stick thing connecting them also moved!! lmao what is terminology):

canberra being very canberra:

entry to the free part of the museum:

so this is a (and i quote) "telstra payphone damaged when bushfires swept through cobargo, southern nsw, on 31 december 2019"

this is called "unsustainable thirst (by frank thirion 2003)" (they're made of salt):

in pre-covid times i would've touched this lol:

massive fucking lift:

i find the stories fascinating:

the museum gift shop had some nice stuff:

war memorial! (this is the next day)

oh i have to make a new post/reblog this because only 30 images in a post!! okay one sec

Meet Eureka!

Pronouns: He / Him

A resident of kingdom who yearns to become a member of The Elders Council like his older brother, Canberra.

When Canberra was selected, Eureka pushed himself hard to make himself known by working on a huge project; photographing the stars of the night sky to make constellations.

King Resh once had a passion for stars, and upon learning this, Eureka wanted to help complete his work by taking matters into his own hands, even though this would be several times easier if he was a member, where he would have access to the journals King Resh had…

This desperation causes him work for days on end, slowly gaining an addiction to coffee to keep himself up during the night. This caused him to become irritable and quick to anger, stressing endlessly.

His behavior caused a rift between Canberra and his younger brother, Wilpena, who ended up leaving the kingdom for Prairie Peaks to find some peace and quiet. This left Eureka with guilt and a deeper drive to become a member in hopes to patch things up with his siblings sooner.

Eureka prefers to travel to areas where the moon and stars are always visible, but will feel gloomy and unmotivated to travel anywhere on cloudy and rainy days.

How Decobu’s HVAC Designs Boost Energy Efficiency and Speed Up Project Timelines

In Australia’s fast-evolving construction landscape, energy efficiency and timely project delivery are top priorities for builders, architects, government bodies, and property investors. Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems are key to achieving these goals. At Decobu, a leader in mechanical engineering services, we specialize in cutting-edge HVAC designs that optimize energy use and accelerate timelines, meeting Australia’s strict sustainability standards.

Why HVAC Matters for Energy Efficiency

HVAC systems ensure indoor comfort but are major energy consumers. According to energy.gov.au, they can account for up to 50% of a commercial building’s energy use and drive peak electricity demand. In homes, heating and cooling make up about 40% of energy consumption, per Sustainability Victoria. Efficient HVAC designs are vital for cutting costs and complying with standards like the National Construction Code (NCC) and the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards (GEMS) Act.

Optimized systems also boost building ratings under frameworks like NABERS and Green Star. For instance, a retrofit at 4 Mort Street, Canberra, slashed energy costs by $120,000 annually and cut emissions by 70%, lifting its NABERS Energy Rating from 2 to 4.5 stars (environment.gov.au).

Decobu’s Approach to Energy-Efficient HVAC Designs

As one of the premier mechanical engineering companies Australia trusts, Decobu employs proven strategies to enhance HVAC efficiency:

High-Efficiency Equipment: Our mechanical design engineers Australia-wide select systems with top Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEER), like reverse cycle split systems, minimizing energy waste (Gridless).

Smart Automation: Advanced Building Management Systems (BMS) optimize energy use, controlling 50–80% of a building’s electricity needs (Grosvenor Engineering Group).

Renewable Integration: We pair HVAC with solar power, supporting initiatives like the i-Hub for affordable heating and cooling (energy.gov.au).

Precise Sizing: Using industry-standard tools, our mechanical engineering design companies ensure HVAC systems match building loads, boosting efficiency.

Insulation & Sealing: Enhanced thermal barriers reduce energy loss, tailored to Australia’s diverse climates.

Energy Recovery: Heat exchangers recycle waste heat, cutting consumption further (NSW Climate and Energy Action).

These methods align with programs like the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU), offering rebates for efficient HVAC upgrades (Gridless).

Speeding Up Projects with BIM Technology

Decobu leverages Building Information Modeling (BIM) and AutoCAD to streamline HVAC projects. As a trusted mechanical engineering firm Australia-wide, we use BIM to:

Detect Issues Early: Clash detection prevents conflicts with other systems, reducing rework (Complete HVAC).

Enhance Collaboration: BIM fosters teamwork among architects and contractors, minimizing delays (Buildxact).

Streamline Documentation: Precise models speed up approvals and guide construction efficiently.

This approach ensures projects stay on track, a hallmark of mechanical engineering services Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide rely on. Click Here to Learn More.

How to Get Your Learner Licence in the ACT: A Step-by-Step Guide

Getting your learner licence is an exciting first step toward becoming a confident and responsible driver. In the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), the licensing process is designed to help new drivers gradually gain the skills and experience needed for safe driving. Whether you’re a teenager ready to hit the road or an adult learning to drive for the first time, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about obtaining your ACT learner licence.

At Ghatorha Driving School, we’re committed to supporting new drivers every step of the way. With the right guidance from a professional ACT driving instructor, the journey from your Ls to a full licence becomes much smoother and more enjoyable.

Step 1: Be the Right Age

Before anything else, you must be at least 15 years and 9 months old to be eligible for a learner licence in the ACT. This age requirement ensures that learners are mature enough to begin the responsibilities associated with driving.

Step 2: Complete a Pre-Learner Course

Next, you’ll need to successfully complete a Pre-Learner Course. This course is designed to give you a foundational understanding of road safety, vehicle control, and basic driving skills. It’s typically conducted over two sessions and includes interactive learning to help you feel more confident when you begin real-world driving.

Enrolling in a reliable Canberra driving school, like Ghatorha Driving School, is highly recommended. We offer flexible schedules and supportive instructors to make the learning experience both effective and stress-free.

Step 3: Pass the Road Rules Knowledge Test

Once you’ve completed the Pre-Learner Course, the next step is to pass the computer-based Road Rules Knowledge Test. This test assesses your understanding of essential road rules, signage, and safe driving practices. It’s available at most Canberra Connect shopfronts, and it’s important to prepare well in advance. You can access practice tests online or through a qualified ACT driving instructor who can guide you through the theory and practical elements.

Step 4: Visit a Canberra Connect Shopfront

After passing your test, you’ll need to attend a Canberra Connect shopfront in person. Here, you’ll submit the necessary documentation, pay the applicable fees, and receive your learner licence and official logbook.

The logbook is where you’ll record all your supervised driving hours. In the ACT, you’ll need to complete at least 100 hours of supervised driving, including 10 hours at night, before progressing to the next stage of your licence.

Step 5: Start Driving Lessons

With your learner licence in hand, you can now begin driving lessons in Canberra. Taking structured lessons with a qualified instructor is essential to building strong driving habits, gaining confidence, and learning how to handle various road conditions.

At Ghatorha Driving School, we offer personalised driving lessons tailored to your skill level and learning pace. Our experienced instructors are patient, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping you become a safe and responsible driver. Whether you’re just starting or preparing for your driving test, our lessons will help you feel confident behind the wheel.

Why Choose Ghatorha Driving School?

As a leading Canberra driving school, we understand that learning to drive is a major milestone. That’s why we provide expert guidance, flexible lesson times, and a friendly, supportive environment. Our instructors are certified professionals with a deep understanding of ACT road rules and the driver licensing process.

We help learners:

Master vehicle control and defensive driving techniques

Understand road signs, rules, and responsibilities

Prepare for driving assessments with mock tests and feedback

Ready to Get Started?

If you’re ready to take the first step toward getting your learner licence in the ACT, we’re here to help! From pre-learner course support to hands-on driving lessons, Ghatorha Driving School is your trusted partner on the road.

[andthebubbles]

iiiii am seriously thinking of playing tanks again sjdhdkdk

Okay and on another note. I miss Velasin XD I've been slowly slowlyyyy rereading book 1 (and once I finish that, book 2), a few pages every night, and that's been so nice... Unfortunately it does also make me imagine writing a/b!Anthony's pov in first person which I'm not going to do 😂 but yeah. Velasin is just lovely

If there was a third book, I'd like to see Inavi (that was her name right...?) somehow involved in the plot, and also, I'd like to see Velasin start to do and learn more yaseran (?) things. Because that's totally what Yasa Kithadi planned for him, by making Cae the heir to the yaserate. And now I have to go look up all these names to make sure I spelt them right AND that I didn't accidentally mistake them for someone else haha

I just really really like Velasin?? I love the books' obsession with cutting his throat LMAO

In other news I heard the troopy being warmed up today (revved to 1500 rpm) and AAAAH it sounds so good!!! So tempted to drive it down to Canberra, but finding a parking garage that fits it is impossible (it's 2.2m high, but with the beacon which I still haven't taken off it's about 2.3m, so I would need 2.4m to be properly safe I think. And apartments just don't make garages that tall lol. So I've been looking at the crime rates of Canberra suburbs and figuring out which one is best to park my car on the street, AND also I have to look at if it's free or paid parking, or timed, and for how long... ayyyyy)
