My husband and I are hoping to find a house/apartment swap in St Albans UK so we can spend the UK summer with our son and grandson who are living in St Albans. We will consider a house/apartment swap in London near St Pancras Station/University of London or on a link train line to St Albans. Our centrally heated townhouse (1 level with courtyard gardens) is located is the heritage garden suburb of Reid in Australia's national capital, Canberra. Our home is within walking distance of the Australian National War Memorial, bush walks, Lake Burley Griffin, National buildings and the CBD shops. Canberra is a planned city and is known for its extensive cycle tracks. Our bikes will be available for use, as will our hybrid sedan car. Sydney is a 3hr drive north of Canberra, the beaches are 2hr drive east and the snow country is 2hr drive south. Canberra is a beautiful, clean city and an ideal spring board for travel in Australia either by car, train, coach or air. Being in the 'high country', but below the snow line, Canberra has cold nights in Australia's winter but mostly beautiful sunny days - if a tad crisp. Canberra has very little rain. Canberra's economy is driven by a diverse range of key industries, with significant strength in public administration and safety, defence, cyber security, space (NASA partnership), renewable energy, education and research, agri-technology, ICT and e-government. The Australian National University is Australia's pre-eminent research university, and includes a medical school and teaching hospital. Cyber security courses are now strong at the ANU and Australian Defence Academy. The Australian Institute of Sport is also located in Canberra and is linked with a sports medicine and rehab hospital.
