The @cbrwritersfest kicks off this week and the countdown is on!

Whether you’re heading straight for gritty crime, deep-dive biographies, spicy rom-coms or political thrillers... this year’s festival is built for you to choose your own adventure!

Here’s how we’re spending our dream festival weekend:

☕️ Morning: Coffee on the sunlit lawns of the Parliamentary Triangle, catching in conversation author panels across the National Library, MoAD and Portrait Gallery.

🌅 Afternoon: Strolling over to the National Archives for juicy life stories & scandals, plus grabbing lunch at Rosa’s and hunting down new emerging authors

🍷 Evening: Heading into the city for book club High Teas or cheeky late-night comedy at Smith’s Alternative and Verity Lane.

You don’t even need to have read the book first, just bring your curiosity! #ThisIsCanberra #CanberraWritersFestival by @this.is.canberra

Two Canberra speed demons, one local partnership! 🚗💨

Four-time Australian Rally Champion Harry Bates has officially teamed up with local provider Infinite Networks as his Official Internet Partner.

While fast cars and ultra-fast internet share an obvious connection, both Harry and Infinite say the real synergy comes down to reliability, local teamwork, and local roots. "Canberra is home, so it's always great to team up with a local business that's built its reputation here," says Bates.
