The CMC also might have something on but you’d have to be a member to find out…

Perhaps a backyard bacchanalia of some sort?

Last night went off with a bang, and tommorow and friday should be as good. Great responses from the audience last night.

manuka’s not that great for the tween girls, try maybe the city instead? theres a lot more teen oriented stores (chain stores that is) plus the dendy cinemas and plenty of coffee stops. the mothers would be ok in manuka though. its closer to the AWM too.
i def second the cotter idea though.

This Sunday there is a cruise for charity (cars motorbikes, horse-and-carriage, whatever you want) to raise money for the new born intensive care unit.

Meeting point is the carpark of Phillip Ice Skating rink, then drive (well, ‘cruise’) out to the Cotter for a big BBQ.

Have a look at the facebook page linked for details and more info – looks like a great cause and probably a pretty good time too.

Anyone have any ideas how to keep four boys under the age of ten, and two tween girls (all interstate family, I have no children) entertained in Canberra for the weekend?

Otherwise we can just set the girls loose on Manuka with their mothers, and send the boys to the War Memorial.

Pack them off to the National Science Centre, lots of interesting stuff there for kidlets to do, then maybe the museum and the AWM or Cockinton Green and the Dinosaur Park.
