We were on the hunt for six of the best places you can go in Canberra and enjoy a perfect steak. We put the question out to you guys and this was your six picks:

Kingsleys Crab & Steak House

We have had a sneak preview at what is on the cards for the Centenary of Canberra and it is looking very exciting!

Put your dancing shoes on for 100 years of social dance, enjoy a huge range of sporting events and compete among aspiring designers. The next couple of years brings plays, exhibitions, live music and newly published books to Australia’s capital.

Try your hand at carp fishing on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin at Lennox Gardens on Sunday 18th March 2012.

Enjoy time with friends and family as you help remove noxious fish species from the lake which will then be converted into fertislier.

Profits from the Carp-Out will go towards the Eden Monaro Cancer Support Group and also towards ACT’s lakes to provide further recreational fishing opportunities for the future.

Register down at Lennox Gardens and you can also go into the draw to win a great prize.
