Heh. Houses are a lot cheaper to rent, especially on the South side, for some reason. Been checking out Allhomes (http://www.allhomes.com.au)? :-)
And of course one has to have a suitably book-lined room/study!
I'm sure you've sussed it already, but suburbs to check out are Forrest, Kingston (which I really like. Cafes.), Griffith and Manuka, with Narrabundah, Deakin and Yarralumla in second place. I forgot to mention that Canberra is pretty much laid out in "pods" (I'm sure there's another name for them), so if you live in the same pod as your work, you're pretty sweet. It doesn't obviate the fact that buses are fairly crap, but they're not too bad in rush hour (such as it is here), and the biking is definitely the best option. Lots of bike routes here, as well as the relative flatness.
