A few of our favourite things

FLORIADE has topped the list of 100 things Canberrans like most about their city, produced by the “Like Canberra” campaign, with “fantastic views of the mountains” coming in second place.

Radio station FM 104.7 did well, with comic duo Scotty and Nige making it into third place followed by Skyfire.  Summernats rounded out the top five.

The Australian War Memorial came sixth in front of Questacon, the National Zoo and Aquarium and the Old Bus Depot Markets, with Kingston eatery Brodburger in tenth position.

Arts Minister Joy Burch said 14,000 individuals reasons to like the city were submitted, receiving a combined total of 135,000 votes.

“The list includes an amazing variety of people’s favourite places, activities and experiences – a real indication that there is so much to do and see in our city,” she said.

“The Like Canberra campaign has reinforced what is great about living here and the pride we feel in the national capital. This list will enable us all to respond to the question, ‘What is there to like about Canberra?’ with 100 very good reasons.”
