Pyongyang Without The Dystopia
This quote comes from this article on the BBC web site about Canberra.
When C and I flew round Australia some years ago, we didn’t go to the city. I seem to remember some Aussie wag saying there’s nothing to see that would interest a tourist.

Canberra is a World Class representation of a City full of, and Run by Politicians & Bureaucrats, for the Benefit of Politicians & Bureaucrats. Canberra is on a Central Flight
Path for Bogong Moths [who stopover, attracted by city lights on their way to the breeding grounds in the Snowy Mountains] . . . also attracted to these lights are many other Pests; Shallow, Greedy, Self Interest Human Pests : Lobbyists, Greenies, and every weird single focus groups . . . even the North Koreans loves Canberra, and want to come back.

I remember who told us not to go to Canberra. When we flew from Sydney to Adelaide, we knew we would have to refuel,as it was too far for our little Arrow. I suggested Canberra and the instructor suggested Mildura and gave his reasons about Canberra being unsuitable for tourists. So we went to Mildura and it was so hot, we couldn’t wait to get back in the plane and a few thousand feet up.
