Rose hadn't been to Canberra before. We stayed just out of town at a place called Cotters on the Murrumbidgee River. A nice place. We just "wedged" in between a couple of other caravans. It was Easter the following weekend so we were lucky to get a spot. We seem to have "jagged" good spots most of the trip, and this was right up there with the others.
I have family in Canberra that we haven't seen for some years. We contacted Richard and Carol and spent a very pleasant afternoon and evening with them. We're also travelling with Richard and Carol in Canada and the US later in the year between Vancouver and Anchorage.
The bikes were given a workout around Lake Burley-Griffin, we visited the war memorial which was amazing, and Richard took us around Parliament House (his usual stomping ground).
I also spent some time at Mt Stromlo in the mountain bike park. An amazing place with downhill, uphill, around the hill and any other type of riding you might want to do.
I actually got lost at one stage and ended up throwing the bike over a couple of fences and riding through roadworks to get back to the car.
A couple of days well spent. We could have spent a week there.
The house of Representatives. Note the covers over the tables and chairs in the centre. The Speaker was heard to comment "... well we have so many leaks, they might as well be in the roof too!"
Richard and Rose in the Senate.
