We flew to the Australian capital to visit Kirk’s old friend Tamara Chafee. Everyone wondered why in the world we’d visit one of the country’s most boring cities, including Tam’s husband Will. Drew was disappointed in my planning when he learnt that Sydney is only a three-hour drive from the capital.
While Canberra is definitely a boring place we did manage to see both a dead kangaroo and our first natural sighting of the marsupials. Drew fought off a bad cold for most of the time we were there but we did visit the interesting war memorial and the Ned Kelly exhibit at the National Gallery.
