Left Eco Point Murramarang Resort outside Batemans Bay on the 6 March to travel across the Great Dividing Range to Canberra. Was a very interesting experience. The 4wd's had a battle and were down to first gear most of the way. It was a constant climb... we had to whip them at times..
Our time in Canberra is nearly over, and it has been wonderful catching up with Cassie.
Her street in the Duntroon army base looks like an upgraded tent city with the van's and 4wd's out the front and we have taken over the end of the street. Thank goodness for the great bunch of army wives who are her neighbours!
We have been cycling around Lake Burley Griffin and walking around the army base. Had a visit with the pollies at Parliament House- Bang Bang was in town so the Great Hall was off limits while the big wigs had a feast..
The War Memorial was once again a very moving experience, visited Telstra Tower, 810m above sea level, i think i have overcome my fear of heights... not!!!
Visited the miniture gardens of Cockington Green, plenty of day trips and a lovely afternoon of wine tasting at the Pialligo Estate Vineyard near Cassie's house.
Brad turns 50 tomorrow so we have the day planned. I'm sure we shall enjoy :)

We're leaving here on the weekend... Snowy Mountains in the summer here we come.. Lake Jindabyne your fish are ours!!! Hope its not like the Bass.

Love to you all for this time,
The Baggys x

  1. Hi Guys
    Love the photos and Cassie as a blonde. Sam sent me some photos of the floods in Roma, they are unreal, worse than anything I ever saw while I was there. Sounds as if you are having a wonderful time. Told Davina you were sorry to miss her, she is quite lonely in Sydney. Was up for the weekend last weekend. Only has 2 more weeks to go. I miss her.
    Keep up the commentary. love Paula
