A Quote by John Henry Carver

I had some vague memory of visiting Canberra as a lad, when we came up with my father by car. But when I made the long train journey from Sydney to Canberra and arrived at the little stop, I did wonder slightly whether this really was the national capital.

I didn't go to university. I studied theatre in high school and worked with Canberra Youth Theatre and The Street Theatre and other theatre organisations in Canberra, and that's how I got my training.

While Melbourne and Sydney fight about who wears Australia's cultural crown, Canberra just gets on with it.

Judy Horacek

The hardest thing about living in Canberra is that almost everyone who doesn't live here asks: 'Why on earth would you live in Canberra?' Loudly, and in a way they would never use to discuss anywhere else. And they never listen to the answer.

Judy Horacek

One of my best memories is with a really good group of people in the Canberra Youth Theatre. We did a play about the seven deadly sins, and we had to dress up in costume and perform in Garema Place like the drama freaks we were. Great fun.

Samara Weaving

I spent my first five years in Canberra then moved to Sydney, where I moved around the Hills District until the age of 18.

Canberra always had a great sense of community when I was there.

Ellyse Perry

I miss Canberra. It's a great place to grow up in.

Samara Weaving

Learning to drive in Canberra is pretty easy and I had great teachers in my parents.

Early in the journey you wonder how long the journey will take and whether you will make it in this lifetime. Later you will see that where you are going is HERE and you will arrive NOW...so you stop asking.

Ram Dass

I am just this small-town Canberra girl that's taken riding a little kid's bike on dirt tracks to the highest level.

When you're asked/told to come to Canberra by your Prime Minister, in the country I grow up in, you obey that.

Andrew Forrest

Because each are going to blame each other. The thing that Canberra has to really get right is the sharing of the resource. But my problem with people in the government who are there for a short time is that there's no consequences for some of these decisions they make.

Rex Hunt

When youre asked/told to come to Canberra by your Prime Minister, in the country I grow up in, you obey that.

Andrew Forrest

I used to live on the other side of Canberra so it'd take me about 20-25-minutes to come into training. I was so thankful to have a car. Mum was also happy because she had all this extra time instead of driving me to training, waiting around, and then taking me home.

Melissa Breen

We've still got some of our best friends living in Canberra and I still do some training with one of the strength and conditioning coaches at the Brumbies.

Ellyse Perry

This is a look, a part of Australia we don't see. The wide streets, the architecture, the embassies, the space. It's really beautiful and there's a feel to Canberra that is different to any other city.
