I'm visiting Australia for the first time this April and happen to be in Canberra on the weekend of the marathon, so of course I just had to sign up. I see there is a parkrun (Burley Griffin) in the city, so will aim to do that on the Saturday. It seems to be only a short run from the city centre. I imagine there may be one or two other marathoners in town that weekend who will do the same.

I haven't yet made it Canberra so I can't help with the best parkrun there but would welcome some feedback here on the event afterwards.

Feedback: I came down with a chest infection (international air travel, anyone?) and missed both the parkrun opportunity and the marathon. 
But ... signs are looking good for being in Melbourne on a Saturday morning in November. Second attempt to log a Southern Hemisphere parkrun coming up.

I can recommend Albert Park parkrun in Melbourne, but if that isn't convenient I am sure the others are just as good.

Thanks, both, that looks great. Staying on Swanston Street, so it's well within reach.

Burleigh Griffin in Canberra is fantastic. The kangaroos were up at 07:00 on the walk to the start from the city centre.
