Been there | Tips http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. Poachers Pantry, smoke house, winery, cafe http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10916 A great short drive north of Canberra (20+ mins), down a small road and along another lies this gem. Poachers packs a culinary punch, local wines, cheese, smoked meats and an amazing cafe set in the stunning rural setting of limestone plains and sheep paddocks complete with hens and horses. A total package, book a table, sink a bottle over any one of the platters on offer with a good mate.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10916 Mt Stromlo, mountain biking http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10852 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10852 The Australian Alps National Park http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10851
The park offers some of the most unique landscapes found in south eastern Australia, and arguably the whole continent. Galcial lakes, unique flora and fauna, bushwalking, mountain biking, skiing, brumbies and impressive indigenious history.

Recent films such as Sommersault, and Jindabyne have been set amongst this landscape. Last visit whilst sitting silent beside a river, a platypus swam right up to the rock I was perched upon.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10851
