Back in the good old days if you timed it and used your phone, you could jump into the car at Canberra airport arrivals and no one cared. Now no one cares and numpties park for ages cluttering up the drop off waiting for their friends who have yet to land. This’ll ruin it for all of us I guess...

The advertising at Canberra Airport is so deeply, deeply dystopian it’s more like a warning than a welcome. And it’s the very worst companies buying that ad space.

Also it's a terrible photo but if you haven't yet played with the Mulligan's Flat augmented reality game at Canberra Airport I highly recommend it. It turns your hands into torches so you can spot for bettongs. It's basically an ad, but the ad is for excellence so it's great.
