Canberra 2005 Part 1

Things along the way

Raining outside

It was raining when we left Melbourne.

View of the road

The very exciting view between Melbourne and Canberra. The road sign is of a fork in the road, which we're meant to take.

New South Wales sign

Something told me we weren't in Victoria anymore.

Statue in Holbrook

An interesting statue in Holbrook.

Akin in Holbrook

Tobias took this pic of me, I think.

Torpedo

Good ol' torpedo. Also in Holbrook.

Submarine

The life-size replica, above-waterline view of HMAS Otway. A fitting centrepiece of a town hundreds of kilometres away from the sea.

Dog on the Tuckerbox

The Dog on the Tuckerbox is a statue of a dog, on a tuckerbox.

Ruins

These ruins used to be a house... I think.

Canberra

Canberra street

Canberra streets are wide...

Intersection

Between the streets
