I'm not one for nightlife, so quiet Barton suits me and is within easy walking distance to Capitol Hill and the National Triangle with Old Parliament and the Galleries, plus two embassies within shouting distance - Argentina across the street and Peru behind.

I called it river because I saw "Molonglo River" on Google Maps and wasn't zoomed out enough to see "Lake Burley Griffin". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molonglo_River
