Sydney to Canberra

We have not had any internet available for about 4-5 days and now will have to play catch up. We left Sydney last Monday after a 3 hour flight from Cairns to Sydney. We then drove on the first straight road in weeks. There were none in New Zealand. We headed south west from Sydney and ended up in Canberra the Capital of Australia. We spent 2 days there resting and driving around. The city was easy to get around in. We visited the Australian War Memorial. It depicted the countries involvement in the 1st and 2nd World Wars. From the front of the memorial you could see the Parliament building which in part under ground.

The weather here has been in the 70's or so each day with no rain which they need very bad. Every thing is brown. In some parts of the country they can not even water a flower pot.
