Australia's Mark Webber has announced he will retire from Formula One racing at the end of the season.

The 36-year-old will leave the Red Bull racing team and continue his driving career with Porsche's new sports car program.

Hmm.. interesting. I quite like the guy and will miss his F1 track exploits.

Queanbeyan

Not a word I've come across before

Queanbeyan,

is a New South Wales country town, with shops and industry, just outside the Australian Capital Territory. Basically exists to service Canberra, our nations capital city, because our pollies want to be surrounded by lakes and gardens, not ugly shops.

I stayed there once when visiting Canberra (the first time) as we had a caravan in tow, but every other time it's been Canberra itself.

That's a bit mean, Phil....Queanbeyan was around long before Canberra....

True.
But I suspect Phil is referring to what it has grown into since the "creation" of Canberra.
I had a few customers there over the years and I would describe it as a "service town".

Yes, that's exactly what I meant and certainly no offence meant at all.

I thought Canberra had it's own "service" town....Fyshwick
