I had surprisingly enjoyed my time in Canberra and arrived in Melbourne in high spirits and luckily things were good to me that day I arrived back in what is now my second favourite city in the world. I didn't do too much on Monday because I really couldn't be arsed to so next day I saw it was cloudy out and not overly warm so I thought I shall go to the city I so enjoy.

For this I would base myself in the quiet and quaintly beautiful town of Sheffield which is about 70km from the Cradle Mt National Park.
