It was once a carpet and flooring warehouse, a woodwork factory, a law firm and a glamorous events centre — now number <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/1-34-geelong-street-fyshwick-act-2609-102999/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">1/34 Geelong Street, Fyshwick</a>, is looking for a new owner.But don’t let its unassuming exterior fool you: this red and white double-brick construction – which came to life in the 1960s and claims to be one of Fyshwick’s oldest industrial buildings – is an actual wonderland on the inside.<img alt="1-34-geelong-street-fyshwick-act-2609-102999-image-0-20240618044808586838-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1-34-geelong-street-fyshwick-act-2609-102999-i.width-800_LwyaxNz.jpg" width="800">Most recently the home of event space HQ Thirty Four, the building has a fully renovated interior, including a full kitchen, a foyer bar and private bathrooms.The cavernous ground and level one floors are 270sqm each and can only be described as “industrial luxe”.

Meet the ordinary Fyshwick warehouse that’s extraordinary within

If you have a toddler who rises early (like I do) then by 8am you’re desperate for: a) a really good coffee and 2) somewhere to take them to wear them out before their lunchtime nap.Great coffee is easy to find in Canberra but where are the places little ones have just as much fun? Here’s our round-up of venues that manage to combine outstanding coffee and even better play options.Did we miss any?<h3 data-block-key="5v3ok">Gang Gang Cafe and Bar</h3><h4 data-block-key="a4bl">Located at Downer Shopping Centre, 4/2 Frencham Place, Downer</h4><img alt="gang gang" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/gang_gang.width-800.jpg" width="800">In Downer, GangGang kicks goals for brekky and lunch – but only takes cards. Across at Downer Oval, you’ve got the playground, the dirt tracks and the fields. We flew kites on the oval two weekends ago. It was perfect.<h3 data-block-key="8gnue">A Bite to Eat</h3><h4 data-block-key="aj8vn">Located at Chifley Shops, 8 Chifley Place, Chifley</h4><img alt="chifley" class="richtext-image full-width" height="640" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/chifley.width-800.jpg" width="480">I’m a big fan of A Bite to Eat: the coffee is good, the food is gluten free and Chifley Play Space is a good post-banana bread bribe. The only catch is that the playground isn’t fenced, so it’s great for the big kids but you’ll need to keep a very close eye on the little ones.<h3 data-block-key="b4smp">Wildflour Artisan Bakery &amp; Cafe</h3><h4 data-block-key="f0bln">Located at 8 Townsville Street, Fyshwick</h4><img alt="wildflour" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/wildflour.width-800.jpg" width="800">I was buying a lemon meringue croissant from one of the best bakeries in the capital when I happily discovered a fenced playground out the back with a cubby house, slides and a swing. Sitting under the shaded outside seating watching my toddler was bliss. (Until she wanted some of my croissant and things got very, very sticky.)<h3 data-block-key="2alks">Ainslie Bakehouse</h3><h4 data-block-key="bgpfe">Located at Ainslie Shops, 1/5 Edgar Street, Ainslie</h4><img alt="1024px-Corroboree_Park,_Ainslie,_Australian_Capital_Territory" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/1024px-Corroboree_Park_Ainslie_Australian_Capi.width-800.jpg" width="800">If you’ve got a child obsessed with bike, skateboard or scooter riding, Ainslie is a total winner. Hit up Ainslie Bakehouse or Edgar’s for a huge coffee and then ride the paths of the amazing Corroboree Park. Pro tip: take a basketball for the big kids.<h3 data-block-key="a2pku">Frankies at Forde</h3><h4 data-block-key="85l9s">Located at Forde Shopping Centre,1/26 Francis Forde Boulevard, Forde</h4><img alt="frankies" class="richtext-image full-width" height="450" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/frankies.width-800.jpg" width="800">In Gungahlin, grab a Halloumi Stack or Brekky Nachos at Frankies at Forde before ducking across the road to the playground. (The real doozy in north Canberra, though, is the park at Moncrieff! It’s epic! Head there and Uber your coffee directly to you! I did!)

5 places for amazing coffee (and even better play options for the kids)

At 72, Ingrid Baas-Becking is busier than she’s ever been.She’s big on lunch dates, sings with a choir and loves walking her puppy, Ellie. It’s a lifestyle made possible by where she lives, in the very centre of Canberra at Sundown Villas: a community of 80+ homes in Symonston, literally on the site of the old Sundown Drive-in.<img alt="6-conifer-ave-symonston-act-2609-86299-image-0-20230919023141035433-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-conifer-ave-symonston-act-2609-86299-image-0.width-800.jpg" width="800">“It’s honestly Canberra’s best-kept secret,” Ingrid says.“The location, the sense of community, I love living here.”The conditions for buying and living at Sundown Villas are unique. Firstly, the owners – Australian real estate fund managers <a href="https://www.lincolnplace.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lincoln Place</a> – prefer you to be over 50.<img alt="6-conifer-ave-symonston-act-2609-86299-image-0-20230919023141723031-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-conifer-ave-symonston-act-2609-86299-image-0.width-800_iG7P42V.jpg" width="800">You must pay for your home with cash, but there is no stamp duty. You then enter a land lease arrangement, paying around $180/week to live in your home. Water costs are included in the weekly land lease fee.The main condition is that you can’t move your home; it must stay in the park.The park is made up of one, two and three-bedroom homes that size-wise are “somewhere between a cabin and a regular-sized home”. Ingrid refers to her home, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/6-conifer-ave-symonston-act-2609-86299/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">a two-bedroom, one bathroom home she has currently listed for sale</a> – as a “small home”. <img alt="20230920_145526" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1066" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/20230920_145526.width-800.jpg" width="800">“I grew up in Holland, so it suits me well,” she says.Priced from $200,000, it’s an affordable way for people to own their own home.Ingrid is only selling because she’s moving in with her partner Fay, a few houses up the street.Life at Sundown Villas can be as busy or relaxed as you like. The park has a swimming pool, a community hall and barbecue facilities, and visiting family and friends get a discount at the Sundown Motel located right next door. <img alt="6-conifer-ave-symonston-act-2609-86299-image-0-20230919023141903208-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-conifer-ave-symonston-act-2609-86299-image-0.width-800_FwtExQV.jpg" width="800">But what Ingrid loves is the quiet.“We’re surrounded by a really rural landscape here, it’s beautiful,” she says.“On the whole, because it’s mostly elderly residents, it is very quiet.”Around 40 brand-new homes are being added to the park over the coming months, with a price guide of $520,000 for a three-bedroom floorplan. New barbecue facilities are being built (at the moment, residents of the villas share with motel guests), the park’s roads are being re-sealed and the landscaping is being upgraded.<img alt="6-conifer-ave-symonston-act-2609-86299-image-0-20230919023143068155-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/6-conifer-ave-symonston-act-2609-86299-image-0.width-800_IwCfvk4.jpg" width="800">“In a way, it’s like buying a caravan,” Ingrid says.“You don’t get the land and you can’t have a mortgage, but no stamp duty and a super simple settlement makes a huge difference to people.“I’ve loved living in this little house.”Number 6 Conifer Avenue, Symonston, is for sale between $230,000 and $250,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/6-conifer-ave-symonston-act-2609-86299/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>

‘Canberra’s best-kept secret’: What life in a lifestyle park near Fyshwick is really like

​​What if you could design your very own signature print — not only for the huge pile of cushions on your lounge but also for lounging in bed in?Would you choose floral, stripes or tiny triangles? It&#x27;s emerald leopard for me.<img alt="0143 2" class="richtext-image full-width" height="1200" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/0143_2.width-800.jpg" width="800">Canberra brand <a href="https://luxeandbeau.com.au/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Luxe &amp; Beau</a> has been selling stunning homewares online for more than seven years; but with its new bricks and mortar store in Fyshwick, it’s helping clients match their interiors to their peejays.Luxe &amp; Beau is the vision of Canberra’s Georgie Beaumont, who comes from a long line of women obsessed with beautiful things.

Matching your pyjamas to your cushions is a thing, says this Canberra homewares label

Buying and selling property is serious business - but there&#x27;s literally one thing an agent (or a buyer) can&#x27;t control: a street name.While most Canberra streets are named after traditional places from our First Nations heritage or for the people who have helped shape our fair city (and country), there are some absolute stunners I&#x27;d pay megabucks to live on. Here they are, in order.<h3 data-block-key="cu4e1">Bogan Place, Kaleen </h3><img alt="Bogan Street" class="richtext-image full-width" height="349" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Bogan_Street.width-800.jpg" width="620">The Oxford dictionary describes a bogan as “an uncouth or unsophisticated person regarded as being of low social status”. That doesn&#x27;t sound like the suburb of Kaleen at all! Kath and Kim fans should be lining this street for a selfie: &quot;look at moi ploise Kim&quot;.The fact that this street isn’t in Queanbeyan came as quite a shock to me. <h3 data-block-key="dicr5">Sargood Street, O’Connor </h3><img alt="IMG_9737" class="richtext-image full-width" height="999" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_9737.width-800.jpg" width="800">This street&#x27;s name is SAR GOOD! Known as the home to iconic O’Connor pub The Duxton (formerly All Bar Nun), it&#x27;s more of a laneway than a street. But living on it would be sargood!<h3 data-block-key="b41nh">Sanger Street, Franklin</h3><img alt="shutterstock_151884014" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/shutterstock_151884014.width-800.jpg" width="800">There are a couple of street names in Canberra that make my mouth water, including this one. Sanger Street is Australian colloquialism at its finest. Whether you loves yours packed with bacon, lettuce and tomato, or vegemite and cheese, this would be a a ripper of a street to live on. (I&#x27;m a devon and tomato sauce girl myself.)<h3 data-block-key="91hbc">Batman Street, Braddon </h3><img alt="shutterstock_1531909679" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/shutterstock_1531909679.width-800.jpg" width="800">Imagine you&#x27;re a the chemist and the pharmacist says, &#x27;can you confirm your address please&#x27; and you just belt out NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA ... BATMAN! This street name has to be one of, if not, the coolest street name in Canberra. Located right in the middle of the city, you&#x27;ve probably seen the sign going from Ainslie into Civic. I just wanna know - when we are getting Wonderwoman Street?! <h3 data-block-key="c5qr6">Lamington Street, Deakin</h3><img alt="shutterstock_589050824" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/shutterstock_589050824.width-800.jpg" width="800">I hear they&#x27;re big fans of high tea in Deakin: so much so that they&#x27;ve named one of their streets after a particular Australian mini cake. Perks: everyone knows how to spell it! <h3 data-block-key="1d1vd">Iron Knob Street, Fyshwick </h3><img alt="IMG_9714" class="richtext-image full-width" height="888" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_9718.width-800.jpg" width="800">Ah, Fyshwick. Home to the capital&#x27;s red light district and synonymous with sex shops, tattoo parlours and discount mattresses. Iron Knob Street is always a popular gag for my interstate visitors but when they then find out it is home to the Canberra Outlet Centre (or COC) - well, you can imagine the response.<h3 data-block-key="e1n27">Nuyts Street, Red Hill </h3><img alt="IMG_9725" class="richtext-image full-width" height="588" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/IMG_9736.width-800.jpg" width="800">The GPS pronounces it &#x27;new-eats&#x27; but I pronounce it NUTS. Look up Nuyts in the dictionary and it says: “successful, joyful, freedom lover”. Yikes. While this street is in prestigious Red Hill and surrounded by Catholic churches, there is just something about the small word that sends people into fits of giggles.<h3 data-block-key="eveqj">Quick Street, Braddon </h3>Can you believe Batman Street becomes Quick Street? The ACT planning Gods must have been having a laugh when they printed those signs. I personally don&#x27;t like being told to hurry when I&#x27;m shopping in Civic but I love that this street name has tones of powdered chocolate milk.
