Canberra - holiday - June 07

Monday: finished the retreat and headed into Canberra - thinking it wouldnt be a problem to find 2 nights accomodation - WRONG! Apparently parliment is sitting Tuesday so everything is booked out. Finally found a place in Queanbeyan to stay - $140 night - bit more than i like paying i have to say! but a nice room

went and saw Pirates of the Carribean tonight - predicatable i have to say

Tuesday: so after the retreat Carl and i spent 2 days in Canberra
we went to the observatory at Mt Stromlo
it's still not opened again after being burnt our in 2005

Wednesday: Went to Cockington Green, cause despite the numerous times I have been to Canberra I had never been here........ and I dont think i will bother going ever again. It was skillfully done, but just didnt facinate me as it seems to facinate a lot of people.
