But I must admit to breathing an extra
sigh of relief at the sight of the crowds; I had editor
thought, for a brief moment, that the event
would be some kind of dud this year.

We had planned to come into town (Can-
berra-speak for the CBD) for dinner, before
making our way down to the lake in time for
the fireworks.

But almost every restaurant was closed, so
we ate at home.

Still, I thought, surely it'll be hard to get a
park in town. So we made our way in with
plenty of time to spare.

To my naive, middle-aged shock, the main
outdoor car parks around the Sydney and
Melbourne buildings were half empty, as
were the streets.

Dead. Dead as a doornail.

I shouldn't have been surprised - I spent
my adolescence and part of my 20s here,
after all.

I know how the city's nightlife compares
to Sydney and Melbourne - I've done all
three and decided, surprisingly early in life,
to refrain from such comparisons.

And anyway, on Saturday, everyone was
down at the lake. After the fireworks, most, it
seemed, returned home.

We got back onto the Civic shuttle and
returned, deflated, to the interchange, in
time to see an ominous queue forming at
Mooseheads - the only place open.

Canberra, famously, has always shut
down over the summer, what with sitting
weeks over and the mandated parliamenta-
ry shut down in force.

People head down to the coast, or off to
their hometowns for Christmas.
