If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

I've just moved to Canberra from Melbourne (5 months now). I'm a fan of graffiti, even the ugly stuff. I find it more interesting than a bland grey electricity box. melbourne is spoilt by the quality of its public art. unfortunately in canberra, public art seems to mean political monument.
i notice you described Canberra as more like a country town than a small city. i think its more accurate to describe it as an isolated suburbia. Canberra doesn't have the population density that makes a city and is too spread out to offer the charm of a town.
nevertheless, i liked it enough to move here, and i guess i'll find out if i like it enough to stay.
