So it's fairly well driven by public servants through there.
Private sector, also good.
The public service really drives the incomes
Now, infrastructure wise, we've got things like the light rail project, which has been a more recent one.
And that's been very heavily invested in.
And also what we've seen on the back of that, because that was started on the northern end of town, we did see those areas benefit quite significantly in their house prices or unit prices also lifted.
It's about to start the second stage, which is from the city down towards the southern area in Woden.
And that particular project, I think that people are going to have pretty long memories.
And so they'll start to invest around those spaces as well.
I think Canberra's losing its tag, being a bit of a boring sort of place to be.
There's a lot to really like about it down here, and those that live here know exactly what I'm talking about.
The bush capital, as it's sort of called through there, there's a lot of people that want to be here because they're only 15, 20 minutes from the city at the furthest edges.
The attractions that Canberra has, it certainly keeps people here and keeps them occupied.
Yeah, absolutely.
I talked about it just before, but that geographic location, I mean, you can live in Sydney in the outer suburbs and it could take you an hour and a half to two hours to get to work.
You don't have that here.
Our peak hour, if you will, you know, might take you at your extremities during peak hour.
It might take you maybe half an hour, 40 minutes to get to the centre of the city in absolute peak hour, you know, and you'd have that in just a general trip otherwise.
So I think the schooling's good down through here from a family area point of view.
You know, people that do want to spend time as a family, Canberra has it absolutely in droves and I think really puts most other capital cities to shame.
