Posted by | May 11, 2015 | |

Canberrans are blessed with the amount of restaurants that regularly pop up around town. New and exciting food is around each corner of each connecting street. Meanwhile looking outwards to the surrounding regions, only a short drive away even more fresh food is waiting to be tasted.

In the end, we thought it best to let Jem speak for himself.

Did you know that the Queen’s Birthday weekend is the last long weekend until… uh…late September? How depressing is that??

The great news about long weekends is that they give you time to get out of town and explore sites you might not have seen. If you haven’t taken the three-hour drive to Rutherglen, you’re missing out on one of the best wine growing regions of Australia one with rich history and delicious food to match the rolling vineyards.
