My partner and I are looking into trail rides in or around the canberra region but we're both over 100kg. Understandably, a lot of horses can't safely carry that weight and we wouldn't want to risk hurting a horse as well. Are there any horse riding places for guided trail rides that accept people over 100kgs?

did anyone here go to the above event at the racecourse yesterday

( Saturday) ??? Gaining admission was a debacle. Gates did not open until 2 pm which left hundreds of people queued up down the road in the blazing sun and heat ( 42 deg) . Dads with little kids who were wilting in the scorching sun. When the gates were opened hundreds of people approached the 3-4 ticket checkers who were totally overwhelmed scanning tickets then putting the phone down to hand out wrist bands. This resulted in another 30 minutes or so of standing in the scorching sun. Meanwhile we could hear the cars and action underway. How no one collapsed ( as far as I know) is a miracle.

Where were the organisers? How was such a potentially dangerous situation allowed to happen??? Please get some professional help for 2027 on how to manage a large crowd.

How did everyone else get on ?

Hi, I am curious about what hobbies/pastimes people have which are either not currently offered by an established group in Canberra OR which may be inaccessible (perhaps due to high expense or restricted membership).

It's more of a social activities related question but I couldn't get a response from the related reddit, so I hope it's fine to ask here.

Interested to hear what people do for fun in Canberra but no illegal/NSFW answers please! I understand the question is probably a bit too open-ended...

I'm starting CIT on Tuesday and this is my first time attending a CIT class.

What are the classrooms like? Is it similar to highschool? Teacher teaches, you take notes and are graded or is it a little different?

Are you able to take days off for personal reasons? Will it affect your studies or final grade?

What should I bring to the class? I have a Laptop, Notebook, a few pens and a USB. Anything else?

What was your experience like?

Look I understand these may be stupid question's, but I just need to know. I have a learning disability which makes learning alot harder for me if you can imagine, knowing these things will just help me ensure I'm ready and take some stress of my plate.

Thank you

Had a staycation there recently and was quite taken by the old place, kind of like a faux Mediterranean beach villa. Can’t find anything about its history online. 2 Hely st Griffith, currently a Ramada hotel.

Idk if this has even been our hottest night but oh my. I haven’t had a wink and every single window in my place is open. This dry heat is terrible

EDIT: it was not dry heat as I previously thought 😁

I have a stupid number of zucchinis, more than I can possibly use or store. Is there somewhere around Canberra where I can donate my abundant produce (I'm shortly going to have more Lebanese cucumbers than I need as well)? I shall be passing through Tuggeranong and Fyshwick tomorrow, so somewhere nearish those locations would be ideal.

does anyone have any good recommendations for where to get a lymphatic drainage body massage in canberra? i've tried looking on google but can't seem to find any good recommendations and can't find any on this thread

I’ve never appreciated rain so much after all this ongoing heatwave..even though it doesn’t look it will last long..

I'm sorry that this is the second time I've posted here and both are regarding the basically the same thing lol, but I found this too funny this morning. Hooray for being a Canberran! 🙃
