Wikipedia lists 114 suburbs (a couple not yet built):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canberra_suburbs

The list above contains 94 suburbs.

All of the Weston Creek suburbs are on it.

(But not poor old Tharwa).

I'm interested in that I'm nominally within TransACT coverage, but 
they stuffed up the sizing of the nearest black-box, and can't 
service me.  So ADSL2+ at 4km distance from the exchange is my 
current maximum.  (I appreciate that that alreaady sounds pretty damn 
good to several linkers!).
