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<br /><br />went and saw Pirates of the Carribean tonight - predicatable i have to say<br /><br /><strong>Tuesday:</strong> so after the retreat Carl and i spent 2 days in Canberra<br />we went to the observatory at Mt Stromlo<br />it's still not opened again after being burnt our in 2005<br />pictures here: <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/Janet.M.Masters/MtStromlo">http://picasaweb.google.com/Janet.M.Masters/MtStromlo</a><br /><br />we also went to the national acquarium and zoo<br />it was a cold day but got some great pics - have a look!<br /><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/Janet.M.Masters/ZooAndAcquariumCanberra2007">http://picasaweb.google.com/Janet.M.Masters/ZooAndAcquariumCanberra2007</a><br /><br /><strong>Wednesday:</strong> 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.
