I remember my dad in the 1960s having to go to meetings in Canberra, all I remain saying, it was boring.

It's one of those silly things you're used to seeing, but also didn't realise that nobody else has lol. It's definitely quieter here, but I personally love it. There's no place I'd rather live. Other cities are far too busy. I'd say it's probably picked up a lot from the sixties though! We have tons of cafes around these days and decent enough restaurants. Shopping is the thing we really don't compare with other cities, we don't have the high end stuff that Sydney and Melbourne has. Just depends on what you want to do, but there's still plenty of things to do here should you ever decide to visit. Getting around is a breeze and it only takes half an hour to go from one end of Canberra to the other. Jimmy is right though, we do complain about any trip more than 20 mins! We love to joke that anything over that is a day trip and you need to take a packed lunch 😂 I've loved learning about all the different cities through this series! What better way to put everybody's little quirks on display than with a good dose of humour! Lols
@@horseg27 oh, that makes sense now Re *Lane One Form* on the road. I thought it was on a road sign lol. Actually when I was thinking about Canberra and reading I thought, “quiet, sound nice”. I’d probably like it, but lol. Melbourne is cold enough, and starting to kick in and also my 3 children and 2 grandchildren are all in Melbourne, I could never leave them 💞. They might need mummy one day lol

Yeah. Protesters. Happy for them to come and visit a bullhorn or two on out of state politicians, but can't you do it without clogging up the roads for the locals in the process? We only have 20 minutes to get to work you know.

"I miss you Canberra" - Yer, I also said that when I moved away .... but within days of coming back (and still here unfortunately), I had the 'buyer's remorse'. Stay where you are, the 'memory lure' of Canberra will soon become a harsh reality of disappointment.
i moved to vic in november..... ( missing the bike paths ) # everyone disses canberra , they leave in a huff ... But they ( all ) Return eventually....
@@aperitifs If you only moved to Melbourne in November 2021, I would recommend just getting out there and discovering everything it has to offer. I thought the same as you for about 1-2 years, but when I did 'the tour', I was soon converted. I miss going to Mordialloc, getting fish and chips from 'Tour de Café' and sitting at the beach or going for a long walk. I spoke with someone recently who lives in Melbourne. They came for a visit to Canberra and said "how beautiful it was". With the benefit of living in both Canberra and Melbourne, I was able to provide her with many examples as to why she should stay where she is, particularly as she has two children and there's only about 5 things a parent can do with kids in Canberra. Plus, in general, so much more to do in Melbourne (so, so much more). Glad I talked her straight. In regards to bike paths, many new suburbs have bike paths or dedicated areas for cyclists (Lysterfield Park). I'm a distance runner and I love the fact when I go down to Melbourne there's actually dedicated athletic running tracks that are free for public use, plus so many more facilities such as doctors and medical - I actually took my daughter to Melbourne for a specialist doctors appointment which was available within weeks, whereas the first appointment in Canberra would have taken months.
My whole family waited for this to come out when we watched your video a few days ago and have been checking your page just for Canberra! We all sat and and watched it when it came out and it was worth the wait! Love your work, keep it up!
Hahahahah!!! As an American born, American and Australian dual citizen living in Canberra, I found out very quickly that EVERYTHING you've said is 100000% accurate.
Proud Canberran here. Well done Jimmy. See you at your show. My kids (teens) are waiting for an in-person dose of your humour. Not the falsetto voice that haunted us for years. 😂
Ex-canberran here and yes, you can spot canberrans on the south coast in winter from the black puffer jackets, lol! Not only that, but the generally better grooming and shiny cars :)
Especially the anthropology of public servants ... oh hang on, that hasn't changed. How they lived, worked and behaved back then is exactly the same today.
"it must be from asking his friends because it can’t all be from personal experience" - Isn't that the typical Canberran way? I know because a friend told me? Because we all know most Canberrans have lived here all their lives but have never had the balls to live in another city, but use Canberra as their 'base' to travel the world on their public service salaries (and accrued holiday and flex leave), then claiming that they're 'well travelled'.
Good evening, Mister Rees, we've been expecting you. If you can wait a minute before ringing all that up, I just need to add one of "getting stuck at the restaurant table closest to the door so you get a freezing blast of winter air every time someone enters or leaves".
No burn for ACTion buses and a lack of public transport after 6pm on a Sunday? And to be fair, it is cold enough for snow, but it’s so dry it goes straight to ice. Other than that, #nailedit. 💙🙌
People shit on Canberra, but it really is a beautiful place. It's more aligned to people who want families, however. But the underground music scene is actually pretty dope at times
Nailed it! I was getting trolled by a chick recently, told her "I'm getting strong Canberra vibes from you" she shut the hell up, haven't heard from her since 😂
For sure, you can often detect a 'Canberran' and usually it's the pretentious BS coming from them that gives it away (especially if they're a public servant) ... and I say that as a Canberran born and bred and unfortunately now still living here (although unlike most Canberrans, I've had the balls to leave and live in several other cities).
I'm waiting for the next episode to see what Jimmy can destroy us with. I can tell it will be about us saying it's always raining when it isn't even the #1 capital city for rain in Australia and the cold.

@@comealongcomealong4480 It came about during one of Chief Minister Andrew Barr's press conferences last year in lockdown.

@@kayelle8005 my tip for surviving Canberra winters is a lightweight puffer jacket under a windproof and waterproof jacket. Automatic layers and zip fronts to manage temperature and, apart from my face and legs, if I’m walking I’m usually comfortable.

Jimmy don't forget nearly colliding with a Roos on the main hwy out of Canberra, thinking your staying in the Canberra when you staying at the ibis at Eagle Hawk but your really in NSW. Taking your interstate Relos to the top of Black Mountain to see the aging Telecom Tower. Being confused on whats the difference between some of the names of the Museums in Canberra and then going to the wrong one, but because the right one is up the road you leave your car parked at the wrong one and then your forget where you parked your car as after you went to the right one you also went to the National Library, had a long lunch at old Parliament house ended up Questacon for the arvo and you need to take a taxi to find where you originally parked your car, and you gotta rush back to the hotel to change as Dinner reservations at Civic is at 6:15pm, but the reservation was for the Belconnen restaurant and you could of taken the other road and you practically circled the ACT in one evening to get to dinner.
I... can't...fault...a...single...one....of those observations. Not one. Well done Jimmy! But... You missed one. Apart from being annoyingly just a bit too cold, it also gets annoyingly just a bit too hot. Wouldn't live anywhere else though. 🥰

Mandatory school trips to Canberra, it always rains and there’s no rain shelters at any of the parks. Planned city? Thanks Canberra… Accurate as always Jimmy. Can’t wait for Tassie, Cascade anyone?
Oh my gosh I nearly broke my ankle on one of those scooters just this year (won't talk about previous ones) And you can't go anywhere without seeing the protesters 🤣
Thanks for mentioning Batemans Bay - Could you do one on the South coast where every Canberra person owns a holiday house and how the people from the south coast get annoyed every school holidays when Canberra people visit ? :) :)
Until they don't visit, then they get annoyed that they're not visiting... Or truck loads of food and donations are sent, and they get annoyed it's not cash donations for them to buy from their local supermarket...
@@peterquin-conroy8377 I've never heard it called that either. I had to rewind that section over and over again until I figured out what Jimmy meant then it got me thinking that maybe HE made that word up 🤷♀️ It's called "the coast" to Canberra or "the bay" for the locals 🙂🙂🙂
Knowing Canberra's 2 degrees of separation, I reckon 98% of Canberrans will see this in under a week
The 2 degrees of separation is another true but spooky fact.
2 degrees?! No way! Definitely 1 degree of separation...I am sure you and I have a mutual.

Being confused on whats the difference between some of the names of the Museums in Canberra and then going to the wrong one, but because the right one is up the road you leave your car parked at the wrong one and then your forget where you parked your car as after you went to the right one you also went to the National Library, had a long lunch at old Parliament house ended up Questacon for the arvo and you need to take a taxi to find where you originally parked your car, and you gotta rush back to the hotel to change as Dinner reservations at Civic is at 6:15pm, but the reservation was for the Belconnen restaurant and you could of taken the other road and you practically circled the ACT in one evening to get to dinner.
Ahhhh...the old Bin Chicken Hotel....
@@davidnobular9220 yes it use to be called The Rydges. Its a troubled resort in the middle of nowhere
Ma"noo"ka .... BLASPHEMY!
LMAO!
Ma"Noo"ka was flagged by Google with "Translate to English", which sounds about right to a local. 😋
LOL.. i am genuinely scared for Hobart now. I feel like he’s going to be brutally roasted 🤣
What about perhaps 'Getting annoyed at foreigners always mispronouncing Canberra'
You can also find that in Melbourne at the end of the wanker coffee aisle.
It’s not Can-BEHR-ah?
As a Canberran thank you so much
I... can't...fault...a...single...one....of those observations. Not one. Well done Jimmy!
But... You missed one. Apart from being annoyingly just a bit too cold, it also gets annoyingly just a bit too hot.
Wouldn't live anywhere else though. 🥰
You poor thing
@@Christoff070 I've been waiting for someone to break out the violins for me! 😄
@@Meriphistimo I'll join you in a whinge, way too hot last time I visited. But now in SA ( miss the cold & so many things) so noone let's me complain about the heat
An an ex Canberra, I honestly think you must be a masochist
Ok, I’ll cop to that! Appreciate the effort you’ve put in to not just going with the pollies 😊
Jimmy I love this!!! So very spot on ❤️🤣Canberra born and bred…never in all my years run into a rogue emu…plenty of peacocks in Narabundah tho…
When I was a kid I was living in macgregor and there was one peacock a street away from me that would make so much noise 🤣 it’s a running joke in my family about how loud it was
Am I the only one who wants to go to all the cities now just to find out if this is true? I'm a country pumpkin, so this would be bemusing for me.
You know it’s country bumpkin right?
@@soapiesoap5649 yup, I do. Still say pumpkin because there's lots of types of pumpkins. One country person doesn't equate to all. Bumpkin implies negativity.
Thing is, you have to live in these cities for a while to know thes e are true!
I've lived in 4 of the cities he's done (and really, Gold Coast is close enough to Brisbane to understand the jokes) and they're all pretty damn accurate. I did thororughly enjoy the Canberra APS jokes though. APS life is real 😆
@@bethconner5419 Love it! I'll never say bumpkin again! But I can vouch for the fact Canberra is pretty well as described, but you'd need to live here for a while to appreciate it all.
This gets me from the first second to the last. That part trying to believe that this city is not boring while it is and of course the burnouts lol lol lol
My grandparents live in Canberra and they always say let’s go to civic and I always so confused.🤣nailed it jimmy
Have you been to Civic? I for one would not call it a city 😂
Omg you nailed it man ! Spot on
I have been in canberra for 10 years now yes it gets awfully cold but a great city for families
So accurate 😂😂😂
Nailed it😂
The bit about not wanting to go to south if you’re in the north is so true. This is top notch stuff
Not quite true. I lived in south canberra but I always preferred the north
How is this so accurate?? 😂😂
Have you lived in every city??? This is insanely funny, not just because it's all spot on but because you nail all of the cities so well.
i don't like how accurate this is
Lol. Ken beren in uk here- I'm so sending this to anyone who says "where's canberra?"
Damn Jimmy you totally forgot about the suffocating bushfires!
I lived in Canberra for 7 years and can confirm this is 100 percent true! How DO you do it? 🤣
This series is so funny, I'm even learning things 😳
Hooray! Tassie next, I can't wait! 👏🤣
Ok, this is ridiculously good
Damn! Just……. Nailed it!
Bloody Canberra :D
Correction: There are actually 5 city centres, just the biggest is called civic (as far as I know)
It's more like the original is called civic. But it's been a while, you may be right
That's why I have only visited the place once. Very funny Jimmy.You nailed it again.😅😅😅👍
As a proud Canberran good gob Jimmy
This is the most accurate thing ever
They don't allow fireworks at home anymore...
Damn. You are funny as hell. Glad I found your channel recently!
Laughed the whole time and I've never been.
Best one yet. I'm from the UK and only get half the jokes but I know...you know. Mans' a genius 🤣
Mandatory school trips to Canberra, it always rains and there’s no rain shelters at any of the parks. Planned city? Thanks Canberra… Accurate as always Jimmy. Can’t wait for Tassie, Cascade anyone?
Jeebus, Jimmy, you didn't have to do us like that.😂
0:05 When you keep missing your turn off
iron knob st. HAHAHA THE FACT THAT I THOUGHT THE EXACT SAME THING WHEN I CAME FROM CANBERRA OUTLET
Kathmandu puffa jacket. That's a mandatory winter accessory! 😁
Not jimmy giggle dissing the place I just moved to 😭 ✋
Very relatable as a Canberran lmao u dont it again
As a local Canberran, all I have to say is NAILED IT!! Ahahaha
You had me at lanyards!!! Haha - gold!
It’s scary how accurate this is eek
Bro this is a Gullah accurate we are boring as math on a Monday morning
Oh my gosh I nearly broke my ankle on one of those scooters just this year (won't talk about previous ones)
And you can't go anywhere without seeing the protesters 🤣
Haha the Viking clap
Lol I love these
Thanks for mentioning Batemans Bay - Could you do one on the South coast where every Canberra person owns a holiday house and how the people from the south coast get annoyed every school holidays when Canberra people visit ? :) :)
Until they don't visit, then they get annoyed that they're not visiting... Or truck loads of food and donations are sent, and they get annoyed it's not cash donations for them to buy from their local supermarket...
@@GamerSloth2275 that's some canberra-level whinging right there, well done.
But what’s with the “Bato” ?!! I mean it could work but I’ve never heard it called that. It’s The Bay. Simple as that
@@peterquin-conroy8377 I've never heard it called that either. I had to rewind that section over and over again until I figured out what Jimmy meant then it got me thinking that maybe HE made that word up 🤷♀️ It's called "the coast" to Canberra or "the bay" for the locals 🙂🙂🙂
If you live in Nowra and Jervis Bay, you're fine with the Canberrans. It's the Sydney people everyone despises.
Well I haven't been to all the places on Jimmy's list, but will definitely consult his impressions of each before deciding where to go next 🤣.
this is scarily accurate-
going shrooming in the forest😂
Yep and spotting the trippers with plastic bags.Then trying to remember your way out afterwards.Good times.
Or on the lawn of Parliament House. Oh, cough, not anymore😂
You just HAD to bring up the puffer jackets lmfao
