Sydney to Canberra ; Wednesday, Nov. 8.

Today we drove through the NSW countryside.

and stopped at Sublime Point which overlooks Woolongong.

We also stopped at Goulburn to view their Rose Garden.

Unfortunately they are experiencing a Class 5 drought so the roses were looking very ragged. I did find one nice bloom of "City of Goulburn" hiding under a big leaf.

We got in to Canberra and went down towards the city centre. We circled the Parliament Buildings three times before we could decide where we wanted to go. I don't think I mentioned it but Australia really has wall to wall roundabouts.

After numerous pergrinations we found "King O'Malley's" Irish pub for supper.
Then found our way to the house of Tim & Mary Colebatch. Mary being Eileen's second cousin. We were warmly welcomed and had some great conversation over a couple drinks before retiring to our first non-hotel bed since Canada.
