What things cost in Canberra

Prices in Canberra spread far wider than any single "from" figure suggests, and 82% of the catalogue can be cancelled free of charge. So the useful question is not what the cheapest ticket costs, but which band buys which kind of day.

That is in line with Australia as a whole, so price alone should not decide where you spend your days.
