... we got into Canberra, we weren't thrilled. It was purely planned as the capital, all roads leading into the centre and surrounded by sprawling suburbs. Very sleek. We did a drive-by of the parliament buildings and found ourselves a good 4-season tent and before we knew it, it was getting dark. And on a weekend downtown, mostly everything was closed. Hmm.<br>

We arrived in Canberra. The kombi conquered Kings Highway - massive mountain that seemed to climb slowly for kilometeres. The corners were 25km corners and the Kombi loved it! Canberra is cold and raining (suprise suprise). We spent the day looking around and checking out ...

Hun bor p.t. i Downes Place. Bagefter kørte Katrina os ned til Hughes Shops, hvorfra vi tog bussen ind til Civic. Her tilbragte vi det meste af eftermiddagen i Canberra Center, som er nærmest ukendeligt fra tidligere besøg. Udviddet til dobbelt størrelse, med nye shops som Big ...

We could have spent days there, but unfortunately time was pressing on and I still needed to find my roadside pie...(for the record, it was on the highway three hours north of Melbourne - the meat was alarmingly like dog food and the pastry far from crumbly...wasn't quite worth the 8,000 km wait!)

... nudity and our bodies in such a negative way. I had no intention myself of actually participating, i was just planning to be the support in case someone fell of their bike and got a bad case of road rash. hmmm. plus i was only half naked and painted completely green, so it doesn't really count. ok my Mother is here and i feel a little inappropriate and it's time to be lovely and proper to meet the family! hopefully some more pictures and some good stories to come!!!

... than anyone else's and being extended while we were there. Our spare time was spent wandering around a market that was fairly standard, generic and as such thoroughly in keeping with the city as a whole.

As such it reaches all the thrilling heights of mediocrity you might expect and no more.
