Canberra

It was summer holidays all over Australia when we arrived at the nations capital. Canberra was empty. You could have fired a gun in the CBD and doubtful it would have hit anyone.  It had a eerie quietness of a ghost town. With expectations of loads of black suits, slick cars with polititians,and parking delemas, we saw none of that. The entire town residence and those employed here heads East to the coast for three weeks after Christmas.
This well thought-out city with a big vision vibe makes Canberra a showpeace and an unexpected surprise.The National Museum of Australia was a highlight.  Where else can you glimps the over sized heart of Pharlap? People in and around Canberra were some of the friendliest and the area around some of the most serene.

Thanks to Deb and Greg Simms for so generously letting us strangers stay on your property and inviting us into your home. Your kindness was so appreciated. Someday we will do the same for some werry travellers:)
