Back to Canberra Now Canberra is one of those cities that people love to hate Ottawa anyone but I really don't think it's that bad. Last time I made fun of Canberra's many roundabouts as it's impossible not to drive in circles. I also have to point out that some of their merging lanes are practically non http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Australian-Capital-Territory/Canberra/blog-450344.html So we picked Canberra as our first road trip destination not the most exciting place but how can we not visit Australia's capitalCanberra is about 2.5 hours drive South of Sydney.

And with JB having a sale I thought now was as good as time as any to get it. So its a few models up from current one also has video taking ability which is pretty good. Also at the same time I got a new mini laptop wh http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Australian-Capital-Territory/Canberra/blog-442164.html Well I have changed my mind about 6 times already since I had first started planning my trip. So I thought I might as well post my latest thoughts on here so I or anybody else can look back on it and see my planning aswell.So I have decided to skip most of Europe. It seems a bit to expensive to travel around for the amount of time I will be there. Maybe on another trip I could spend longer ther http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Australian-Capital-Territory/Canberra/blog-436452.html Hi EveryoneSince the last blog entry we have had a day trip to Burrum Heads and been back to Geoff and Maries for a few days and had a days fishing at Barumba Dam about an hour from Gympie and although we only had one day there we thought it was a lovely spot and will definitely return. Unfortunately I forgot my camera that day so no pics from there. We caught up with Neville and Helen our W http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Australian-Capital-Territory/Canberra/blog-434979.html Well I'm sitting here in my room reading some travel blogs glancing through brochures and surfing tourism websites. I'm not thinking of leaving until late September 2010 but I thought I would try my hand at a bit of blogging and record the whole journey from preparation of my trip around the world right until I land back in the country.I don't know what inspired my sudden desire to travel as http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Australian-Capital-Territory/Canberra/blog-434585.html
