A glimpse of the old ANU
Sally Pryor Oh, I just love a good then-and-now photography project!
It's the little things that make us Like Canberra
Sally Pryor The Like Canberra campaign – the campaign, that is, not the whole website debacle – has really got us thinking over here at the paper.
Centenary room offer makes good cents

Sally Pryor Who says Canberra doesn't have a history?
Let's help make Like Canberra a whole lot more likeable
Sally Pryor OK Canberra, after a moment of mouse-induced rage, it’s time to get constructive. And I'm hoping you can help.
Championing at the bit for more centenary information
Sally Pryor Well, at least I’m not the only Centenary Champion out there – the Centenary team has just announced that it will be training up key staff in Canberra hotels to keep guests up-to-date ...
Like Canberra? Yes. Like Like Canberra? Not one bit
Sally Pryor I may be a born-and-bred Canberran, but I’ll always stick the boot in where it’s needed. To wit: the Like Canberra website. I don’t like it.
It is time ... Canberra's time - to party!
Sally Pryor The Centenary banners had a strange effect on me when they first went up a couple of weeks ago – the year of the Centenary is upon us! Finally!
