Later that afternoon we decided to head for the Canberra Yacht Club for dinner. You might be thinking ‘Canberra has a yacht club’ but it’s really a nice place to enjoy fish and chippys lakeside. (no keels)

After dinner I headed up to the top of Red Hill to watch the fireworks.

On Friday Amber, Oliver and I went to the National Zoo & Aquarium.

Saturday we headed for the beach. It’s about a 2 ½ hour drive from Canberra to Broulee which is one of the nicer beaches along the South Coast NSW. It’s a great place to swim or learn how to swim if you’re only 2.

This was eventually going to happen


Ok, I'm headed north to Sydney and then down the coast...
