After leaving Queenbyan we travelled throughout the day and stopped the night at the free camp at Cann River. Monday saw us travelling onto Marlo to catch up with our travelling buddies, Sheryl and Brian. Sheryl and Brian took us sight seeing around Marlo and Orbost, its great getting local input on an area. We enjoyed catching up, sharing our travel adventures, lunch at the Marlo Pub and chats about our family members. We are so close to home and so looking forw...

On our arrival to Canberra, our first stop was to be the Visitors Information Centre, but to our dismay a floral show was on behind it and the bus parking was blocked off. You know when you get to a point of no return; we had this situation in the car park.

The following morning we woke to sunshine and warm weather, but bloody flies. We had ...

Commonly found around the Richmond area are these spherical 'moon rocks' which come in a variety of sizes from golf ball size...

We had a week back in Darwin after the Cruise and Singapore. It was time to recuperate after such a fantastic holiday, get on top of washing and getting a new solar panel and other electronic gadgets fitting to DABUS. As we say goodbye to Darwin & the NT we leave behind great friends, that make us feel so welcome, awesome constant warm weather, blue sky's, some of our favourite watering holes (pubs and hot springs) termite mounds, burnt out plains and vibran...
