Canberra - 5th March to 6th March After a good night's sleep on the overnight bus we pulled into Canberra Transit Centre at a little after 7am. We headed straight to the YHA in the centre of the city where we booked in for a night's accommodation - our first bed in 4 night's woohoo! After that we made our way to central Canberra to explore Australia's capital, a place that my mother visited a few decades ago, sorry mum. The layout in Canberra was something that ...

As we rolled in late on the 18th we had our complete trip there planned. The first evening we took a stroll along the beach watching the wave's crash in and the sun set behind the city, it felt like being in the CBD of London just with clean air and a beach to relax on....
