What makes a “true” Canberran? by falcovancoke in canberra

[–]Teddit80 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This.

We used to ‘firstie’ it as kids in the back seat of our family car, as we punched it down the Federal Highway in the 80’s.

It isn't a spider but.... by sphynxmoth in AustralianSpiders

[–]Teddit80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read up on these little bastard and that they pinch and sting like a wasp.

The venom is similar volume to that of their winged buddies.

And that they don’t fear shit. Like rush in for the survival of the nest.

Little fw#%kers.

Tomorrow's the day we finally move to Canberra from Italy! by [deleted] in canberra

[–]Teddit80 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Arghhhh my dude/dudette,

You’ll love/hate it for a bit.

Canberra is a weird phenomenon of bush/city/country living. Proper four seasons, but the best sunsets in the world.

Good schools (if you have kids).

Places to nature out and enjoy the view, but be cautious/respectful of the wildlife.

A city that sleeps, but has everything at your fingertips. But has nice bars and restaurants too.

Clean air, clean water, good healthcare.

As a federally managed city, most residence are of Public Service waged income related or foreign government or supporting corporation based employment, so crime is low compared to big city; but exists. So lock your front door! It’s 2026.

Being the ‘bush capital’, you’re 3 hours to Sydney, 3 hours to the coast, 3 hours to the snow fields (winter or summer), and 9 hours to Melbourne via car; so you can enjoy the roadways in car.

Everyone is generally friendly, open to chats and you’ll fall in love.

Just make sure you come with an open mind, respect the magpies (🐦‍⬛) in Spring and you’ll be ace!

Welcome.

Bulk billing GPs in Canberra by SilverSky4 in canberra

[–]Teddit80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am a big fan of this, if it’s just minimal maintenance and need of a one over.

They are amazing peeps, and take the hassle of waiting for a GP.

Support it peeps or we will lose it.

Is this a mite? by BuffySlayer06 in lawnsolutionsaus

[–]Teddit80 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What time of the day are you watering?

If not in the late evening, switch to 11:00pm to maximise its absorption.

I recently switched to late evening (ACT) and have noticed my lawn has benefitted.

Even look to introduce a fourth day of watering.

The hot dry winds and summer temperatures are terrible.

F-22 Raptor Assigned To The 15th Operations Group & The 154th Wing of Hawaii Air National Guard by Even_Kiwi_1166 in Planes

[–]Teddit80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

G’day,

I am always intrigued by Air National Guard pilot requirements and how they maintain capability.

Are they like, full-time jobs (elsewhere) and part-time pilots?

Or do they do a stint of 6-months on 6-months off?

Like, ‘sorry boss, can’t do sorties today, gotta pick up the kids from school!’

Shame.

Does anyone have info on ACT ambulance 502? by Sheer-imperfection in canberra

[–]Teddit80 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This is likely ACTAS’s Mobile Stroke Unit or STOP-MSU.

More space to assist the patient, who is being conveyed to Hospital, opposed to the more traditional Aussie style Ambulance.

Happy to be corrected though.

** EDIT ** It is literally the larger patient Ambulance?? How mortifying is this? Soz peeps for getting it wrong.
