Have you spotted one of Canberra's 12 heritage timber bus shelters?

I've got a confession to make.

But first, I must reiterate that no one loves Canberra's brutalist bus shelters more than I do. I've visited every single one, both within and outside of the ACT, from the dusty back streets of Dubbo (really!) to the two transformed into public toilets on the Gold Coast and everywhere in between. I've devoted more column inches on these pages to them than any other local icon - okay, except maybe for Lake George.
