Canberra, we want you to #showusyourcbr

Posted on 9 September, 2020

We’ve all been spending a lot more time at home this year. And for many it has been a time to take closer note of our neighbourhoods.

Now we want you to share the knowledge—and the love. HerCanberra wants to see your suburb, your streets, even your backyard.

Write us a short piece (up to 400 words) on what you love about where you live and send us some piccies to editor@hercanberra.com.au or take us out with you next time you walk around and show us where you live on Instagram using the hashtag #showusyourcbr.

We want the lowdown on the best walks, the best local shops, prettiest views, cutest houses and favourite hangouts—whatever you love about your locality. And now that it’s spring, there’s no excuse not to be outside and soaking it all up.

Inspire the rest of us to come visit your Canberra!

HOW TO TAKE PART

Write up to 400 words about your neighbourhood, suburb or backyard along with some photos and send it to editor@hercanberra.com.au.

Or, take us on a tour of your neighbourhood on Instagram and tag @hercanberra and use #showusyourcbr in your stories and posts. It’s that simple!

You’ll be seeing the first #showusyourcbr posts on both the HerCanberra website and Instagram soon, so stay tuned!

FAQs

Do I have to live within the ACT to take part?

Nope! We love our surrounding “sister suburbs” of Bungendore, Braidwood, Yass, Queanbeyan, Sutton and beyond. If you feel like part of the HerCanberra community, we want to see your neighbourhood.

I have a private Instagram account; can I still take part?

It might be easiest for you to write us something about your suburb, as we can’t guarantee we’ll see the @hercanberra/#showusyourcbr tag in your stories if the Instagram account is set to private.
