1. Rock on

Start your weekend early with the lunchtime conversation Canberra Cool with the National Portrait Gallery. The virtual chat will be a backstage pass to some of the stories from Canberra's pub rock scene with Chris Shakallis (Young Docteurs), Julia Ford (The Framed) and Fiona Edge (keeper of the 'Pling Archive). After hearing about Canberra's rock history, spend your weekend exploring the gallery's Pub Rock exhibition which celebrates the people and places of Australian pub rock. Canberra Cool is on Friday from 12.30pm to 1.15pm. To register go to portrait.gov.au. The Pub Rock exhibition is open 10am to 5pm, seven days.
