Canberra

So the drive to Melbourne was going to be about 12 hours or so and we had decided we would stop off in Canberra for a night to break up the trip. I got away with only doing about two thirds of the driving as Roisin did a bit of a stint on it. She wasn’t fond of driving in the cities though so I had to look after that part. But I managed to get a bit of sleep in between that so it was much better.

We arrived in Canberra and didn’t have any accommodation, thinking it would be easy enough to pick something up for a night. Alas, Canberra was all booked out for that night. After a lot of driving around and a good few phone calls, we managed to get a night in a hostel. After a little bit of effort to get somewhere to park the car, we ventured around Canberra to see what it had to offer. As you will probably have heard from other people, there wasn’t a lot. We did manage to find a nice Irish Bar so we went in there for a few pints and a few games of cards. We didn’t do much else that night and we were up early again the next morning and back on the road.
