The Front
1 Wattle Place
Lyneham, ACT Australia
Still my favorite free wifi spot in Canberra. Café, gallery and bar. Great coffee. Lots of couches. Outdoor seating too. The place is complete with an art gallery and performance space, which showcases Canberra's local artists and performers. Getting there is a straight shot on the bike path north from ANU. Keep the "river" on your left.
