Canberra

From Wilson's Promontory it took us two days to get to Canberra - this is a pretty big country! On route we stopped off at Eden and Bateman's Bay. Unfortunately, the conditions didn't allow us a sneaky surf before making our way inland to Canberra.

We finally arrived on Monday night and enjoyed a lovely evening with our friends Justin and Jo (two Aussies we met in England last year). They kindly took us out for a meal and it was nice to catch up over a couple of beers. Thanks guys!

The next day we went out to explore what must surely be the world's strangest capital city. Pre-designed and built in between Melbourne and Sydney (as they couldn't decide which one should be the capital), Canberra is a small and quiet place in the middle of nowhere! Nevertheless, we enjoyed walking alongside the lake and wandering the streets for the day.

Justin and Jo had a wedding to attend in Japan, so as soon as they left, we left too... back to the coast for more beach, surf and sun!
