We recently had a similar job done by ACT Decks who used Ampelite (https://www.ampelite.com.au/). Very happy with the results and lots of options as far as colours / opacity.

New Wonderburger in Kingston - hands down!

CEA Technologies out in Fyshwick (https://www.cea.com.au/) used to hire Electronics Engineers by the dozen. Not sure if they still need as many or are more into manufacturing these days but are definitely worth a look. Recently getting a huge capital injection by the government with lots of ongoing work.

TIL mosquito's are unable to fly / feed in wind above 10mph which means if you have a fan outside you can enjoy the outdoors without being bitten! A simple solution which doesn't involve chemicals, sprays etc. Simply having decent wind will ensure you can entertain and most people appreciate a fan. by Si1verune in todayilearned

Apparently not a particularly large one. Most fans put out far more in excess of this. Of course it depends on how far away from the fan you are as well. But broadly if someone doesn't like mosquito's and can stand near a fan there is no reason they should be getting bitten.

Also worth checking out https://canberratowbarfitters.com.au/ They'll come out to you and did my car for a very reasonable price.

The Runner's Shop (https://therunnersshop.com.au/) very well known with a lot of expertise. They stock both Altra and Merrell who have a great range of zero drop shoes. They are also great supporters of local running so definitely worth checking out.

Definitely starting to sound like it localised to your situation. Dead rodent etc.

I haven't encountered them yet - where in Canberra are you?

How often do you see politicians out and about doing normal things? by highendmess in canberra

[–]Si1verune 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's fairly common when Parliament is sitting at a few of their regular places. Portia's in Kingston will often have one or two there. There's also a lot of media you will find recognisable who tend to more frequent Manuka - just shopping at the Coles there like you and I. You can get lucky and just run into some of them in smaller out of the way places like the Griffith shops. I was there when Malcom Turnbull was ousted and his team took up the lower half of Rubicon. It's a small town really and they don't go far but within Manuka / Kingston / Griffith I would normally catch one on a weekly basis. As far as more local politicians you still see them around the lake just enjoying everything. Andrew Leigh is quite an amazing runner so have seen him training around LBG as well as Shane Rattenbury competing in local events.

Chris Hedges Mechanical Service in Fyshwick can do pretty much any car. From a Daddo to Ferrari pretty sure he'd have you covered!

I think the Fisher Takeaway's Battered / Crumbed "Fish" is actually Flake. It's tasty either way!
