Canberra Approach is done from Melbourne. Remember a C210 with engine failure in IMC vectored into hill because controller lacked local knowledge. I am not denigrating the Controller - local knowledge issue caused due no local (Canberra) familiarity provided to this controller.
They are going to move Cairns App to Brisbane. Not many hills around Cairns are there?
