The mini Canberra trip started with a detour to Craigieburn - spelt about the same if you rearrange the letters. To be more specific, we arrived at Highlands (never heard of it) in time for the 8:00am parkrun. This course was first time I've done three laps, only jogging but finished in the top five.
Back on the road properly by 9:00am headed for Canberra. A quick stop near Euroa and then to Wodonga (not Albury) for lunch - a good time to stop as I was nearly falling asleep at the wheel. It looked like the whole town was being rebuilt as they had frames for large buildings all over the city centre. At at minimum it looked like they were building a KMart and a new Coles and Woolworths to replace the old, outdated ones - still branded as Safeway, shareholders would not be happy. The city centre was pretty good and the highlight was the world's biggest rolling pin on top of the bakery.

Into NSW at last, had to stop at South Gungagai to avoid running out of fuel, then through to Canberra the rest of the way until about 4:30pm. After finding the hotel at the second attempt, got some dinner at Manuka then drove up to Anzac Parade before it got dark.
