... to Canberra Alex took the opportunity of sorting out his shaggy hair with Marco's clippers and with a little help from the man himself is now the proud owner of a tidy no2 haircut again. We found it a little difficult to pull ourselves away from the Sbardellas homely surroundings. It was great fun playing with the children and chatting to Emma and Marco. We eventually got back on the road around 11h00 and were soon in Melbourne. We ...

... ones from Ballina and Dubbo)at the markets, they were staying at the showgrounds too. We won't be running into them again though as they are headed straight for Tassie for Xmas. Speaking of which, we have just booked our passage over to the island state - leave Melbourne 21 Feb, leave Tassie 21 March - apparently it fills up a long way in advance so we made haste and booked early. Anyway getting back to Canberra, we visited Parliment House, took a tour ...

... and more novel to us. We found particularly interesting that some Papua New Guinea artifacts were considered to be far older than we've ever thought possible, one of them (see pic) being actually more than three thousands of years old. Last but not least, we've visited NASA's Deep Space Communication Center. Hidden somewhere in the valleys not far from Canberra, the Deep Space Communication station is a complex of huge antennae that ensure communication with NASA ...

... gespielt haben und Kindersendungen, die wir geguckt haben, unterhalten haben. Es wurde sich eh immer viel ueber die Kinder zuhause unterhalten. Tja, wir sind ja au pairs :) Aber es war mal sehr entspannt, das ganze Wochenende OHNE Kinder zu verbringen. Am Sonntag wars in Sydney 35 grad, wir hatten in Canberra ca 25 grad und immer Sonnenschein. Fazit Canberra: todlangweilig, ruhig, nichts los, aber wenn man mit den richtigen Leuten da ist, ist es echt cool! Trotzdem: wir ...

... Gudskelov viste det sig, at skaden nok var slem, men at den ikke ville give hesten varige men. Tirsdag den 22. juli Vores sidste hele dag i Canberra. Solen skinnede fra morgenstunden. Vi koerte foerst til Shackleton Park. Her hilste vi paa de gamle naboer, David og hans thailandske kone. De havde først svært ved at genkende Mia, men så var gensynsglæden stor. De savnede deres gamle naboer. David huskede, hvordan Oskar kom ind og spurgte om han kunne lege. Og vi ...

... started with the singing of O valiant hearts, then followed by the wreathlaying....an ANZAC dedication...the Lord's prayer....singing of Abide with me......repeating of the ode...singing of O God, our help in ages past....and then the soft singing of the national anthem....

Dann die Suche nach nem BBQ. Die war kurz, im naechsten Park gabs schon einen! Also, alles ausm Auto suchen, Tisch ...

The first of my four mega bus trips. This one was 22 hrs long and took us through Canberra and out through the Murry valley on the way to Adelaide. There was a bunk in the back for a second driver to sleep in, but we had a driver change in Canberra. This meant they weren't using the bunk on this trip. The driver offered it up for use, I waited about 15 minutes to see if anyone else wanted to use it; then I climbed on up an caught some zzz's.
