Ep 215. The collapsing building

I heart Canberra.

For anyone who ever hung out at Impact without ever buying anything, caught the 333 to Civic instead of going to school, met a friend at the Goon Bag, kissed someone in the Woden bus interchange, drove up Mount Ainslie on a Saturday night, rode a shopping trolley down the Dickson stormwater drain, or had their best party ever in someone’s mum’s kitchen.

Thank you Miranda Lello, Aaron Kirby, Julian Fleetwood, Jonathan & Stu. I owe you all a drink at Toast.
