... approach to the work day. Arrive around 9 am, catch up with your co-workers for 45 minutes. Work until tea time at 10:30 am, then refocus on your tasks until your 90 minute lunch at noon. Afternoon tea at 3 pm, then head out around 4:30. Arduous work days. How do I get a job at the Australian pentagon? Although, I might pull my hair out working in those conditions.

Canberra only has 300.000 inhabitants and navigating through the city is fairly easy due it’s size combined with the structured layout; so it wasn’t hard to find Liam’s house.

A quick trip to Canberra, then even more delays
Given that we had 4 days or so until our flight to South America we decided on a spur of the minute trip to Canberra to see a couple of people. It was great catching up with mates in Canberra. We gatecrashed Paul and Hayley's dinner party and spent the next day helping Amy to babysit. Nikki ended up getting ID'ed for buying wine and in her embarrassment forgot how old she was!! It was an awesome fly in visit but we'll have to make a better planned trip in October ...
