WATSON, AUSTRALIA October 29, 2010 (Press-News.org) Warm days are coming back in Canberra: time to head outside and make the most of what the Capital city has to offer, besides museums! For Canberrans, it's a great opportunity to come and enjoy their local playground with a twist: they are sure to discover some places through a different light, running, paddling and riding around with their team. For would-be participants who are not from the area, this is a chance to come down with colleagues, mates or family and make a weekend out of it. There are options for all, so bring the family and experience the great hands-on museums, exhibitions and cultural attractions or bring your mates and get stuck into the famed Canberra night life! Oh, and did we mention World Class mountain biking, flat water paddling and picturesque bush land to explore?!
