Human Brochure weekend – a review by Jane

If you’ve ever wondered what 48 hours in Canberra with me as your (eating) tour guide looks like, this is it. Before the Human Brochure weekend began, I gave you a sneak peek of what I expected our experience to look like. I’ll let my best friend, guest human and superb writer Jane take you on that 48 hour ride:

So, what does T2 reckon about Canberra in general?

Canberra. The mere mention of this word usually results in a screwing-up-of-the-nose or rolling-of-the-eyes. I’m now used to this reaction when I tell interstate friends where I live. But, after three years of being based in our nation’s capital, I’ve come to realise that there’s much more to the city than meets the eye. While it certainly is public servant territory here, it really doesn’t have to be all work and no play.

A ‘Spring Fling’ with the Fash ‘n’ Treasure market

The cleverly-titled Fash ‘n’ Treasure market sells itself as ‘Canberra’s one and only fashion event,
bringing together local wardrobes, fashion designers, fashion shops, milliners and stylists’. As a keen market-goer and fashion lover, the promise of two whole levels of clothing and accessories certainly caught my attention. Canberra isn’t particularly known for its wide range of shops, so it seemed to be a great opportunity to pick up a couple of unique, one-off pieces.
