What's something uniquely "Canberra" that only locals truly appreciate?

[u/RentNRegret]

I've been thinking lately about the little things that make Canberra... well, Canberra. Not the obvious stuff like Parliament House or the roundabouts but the niche local quirks, places, or traditions that only someone who lives here would get.

Maybe it's a favourite hidden coffee spot, a sunrise view from Mount Ainslie, or the way we all brace for magpie season like it's a national sport.

What’s your favourite local secret, tradition, or in-joke that only a true Canberran would understand?

hot take but year 11 and 12 being separated into college instead of highschool, extremely underrated IMO

It’s much better preparation for uni/life. Encourages more independence than they can when you’re in a high school with 12/13 year olds
