Embassies

Something oddly missing from Canberra is a list of Embassies. "See" currently has a bit about checking out the embassies and suggests a self-drive tour, which makes me think that it should be listed in "Do" as in a self-drive tour of Canberra's foreign missions. It is something unique to Canberra in Australia and well worth it for any visitor with a car (or bike for that matter). Project:Where you can stick it directs embassies to be listed in the cope section, as it is something of particular use for foreign travellers. So I suggest here that the current "See" listing is transplanted to "Do", and a comprehensive list of embassies (etc) created in "Cope", along the lines of Washington DC#Embassies. Thoughts?

When the embassies become an attraction, they should be in see, and not cope. Having to drive to see them, doesn't make them a Do thing. Do implies there is some physical participation in the actual activity. I think they are correctly listed in See. No harm in adding more detail - or even a section - there. --(WT-en) Inas 18:18, 7 March 2009 (EST)

Fair enuf. List added. Comprehensive! But good to print to make up a self-drive tour. (WT-en) Ronaldo123 06:22, 8 March 2009 (EDT)

Why?

Why is there even a page here? There are no reasons to visit, only bad excuses. Trust me, I lived there 3 years! —The preceding comment was added by 150.203.230.8 (talk • contribs)

I'm an architecture fan and I'm interested in "planned cities". Both Canberra and Brasilia interest me. A short trip of three days to either of them would be fine. Then I could spend a week in Sydney or Rio to finish my vacation. —The preceding comment was added by 64.149.40.157 (talk • contribs)
