I've just moved to Canberra from Adelaide. Where can I meet other gay guys. I've been to Cube, but that place can be hit or miss. Where is a more chilled place where gay people hang. Help me!

The area around Cafe Essen in the city has a couple of gay-frequented cafes, its probably the only area I would want to hang if I was still living in CBR

hmm, I miss Canberra! .. not sure if you are north or south but Tilleys cafe in Lyneham is popular with the gays :) mostly the Australian womens basketball team but is a great cafe with good food and music!
The cafes in Civic are quite gay as well, try Milk and Honey .. I have not lived in Canberra for 3 years so may have changed but definitely head to Tilleys! :) hope is goes well for you..

Hey Deek - Hope you have had a chance to go to Hush... My friends and I try to get there at least once a week...
Canberra is pretty good if you can find some friends to hang out with...

G'day, funny you should be saying that as I am from Melb, but have a student friend in Canberra stuggling to get out and meet new frinds as well.
Have you found any good information to point you in the right direction yet? I'm trying to do the same for him as well.
What brings you to Canberaa from Adelaide? work?
Cheers
