Australia here we come!

We left Boorowa at 9.10am and drove to Yass. We didn't stop at Yass but continued on to Murrumbateman where we had a quick toilet stop. It was on the road again and our next stop was our caravan park at Canberra thanks to Brendan the voice in my GPS. We set up in sites across from where we stayed in 2009. We had a quiet afternoon and a quick drive to Cosco to check out all the bargains. We had a BBQ for tea after Mary-Anne's son Michael arrived. He was the first family we had seen for 8 months and it was great to catch up with him.

We had been to Canberra in 2009 and visited all the must see places then. It was wonderful this time around to be there and not have anywhere that we had to go. We lazed around during the morning and in the afternoon started cooking a roast meal for tea. Michael and Mary-Anne's nephew, Matthew, were coming for tea. We all had a great meal and it was good to see Matthew again as well as Michael.

It was wonderful to have nothing to do again this morning. In the afternoon we drove to Aldi and picked up some bargains and great stuff to take to Michael's house for tea tonight. About 4.30pm Brendan guided us through peak hour traffic to Michael's home. We had a few drinks and nibblies before sitting down to marinated split chook cooked on the BBQ. Michael's two house mates Josh and Jay arrived home from work just before tea and they joined us. We had a wonderful feed and evening and before we knew it, it was time to leave. Nephew Michael had a little tear in his eye as he waved goodbye to his mummy, aunt and uncle.
