Have you ever tried to find a place to park your car during a weekday at the National Library or Questacon? It’s next to impossible. Judging by how full the car parks are, you’d think that these venues would be packed full of people. They’re not.
Take a closer look at the car park and you’ll find that nearly all the licence plates are from the ACT. Of course, local Canberrans have every right to enjoy the attractions in the parliamentary triangle, but in the majority of cases these people aren’t stopping by to check out some delightful watercolours, stylish Incan carvings or breathtaking displays of science in action – they are just leaving their cars there while they go off to work.
