@M_B_D_S Tuggeranong has a lake x.com/i/status/15714…

@ThingsCanberra Definitely. Needs a lake. That being said, 1990s Belconnen with its heavy concentration of brutalist office blocks would give it a run.

Rellie of the N.Z. Tui & Bell Bird ?

@ThingsCanberra I love watching them catching insects mid flight during the warmer months.

In case you were wondering why they're called wattlebirds

@EvelynBarbalet Well, after seeing his collection of blue things and flower petals, I'd say Mr Bowerbird was in possession of a good fortune

@ThingsCanberra Which Bennett sister is she?
