Winter in Canberra is often a time of hibernation and your social life can freeze up like your windscreen in the mornings – if you’re one of the unlucky ones like me who parks their car outside! This winter I have kissed hibernation goodbye because I’m determined to get out and about and enjoy all that Canberra has to offer. Even if it is a bit colder, it’s no excuse! Get your layers on and get out and explore our beautiful city.
I recently received an email from The Chairman Group letting me know their winter specials. They sound pretty good to me so I thought I would share them with you. I also asked them if they would be happy to participate in a giveaway and I’m excited to say they happily obliged! See the end of the post for more details.
