Title: Canberra & Return
Post by: mickd on March 31, 2019, 11:09:23

Did a quick b/day trip to Canberra for Kate's b/day.
Just a couple, Cooma to Bemboka along/over the Great Dividing Range.
A barren landscape, but I love it and the road. Bit of traffic around this arvo.

I love the drive UP the range from Pambula to Bombala.
Is the run up from your area similar.  :Drive:
