Yucky morning. Rainy and cold!
However we spent the night in Crookwell. A lovely little town on the way to Orange.
Despite feeling like we are incognito and miles from anyone we know, Bessie took BB for a walk and still managed to run into a bunch of teenage boys yelling ‘we love you Bessie’ from a [...]

BUSY BUSY
What a great weekend.
We had an amazing lunch with the Lao community. They explained to us how important it is for them to raise resources and money to provide a place escapees from the communist regime can come together and help each other.

Our spot this morning at 7am.
Ok so I think there has been a big secret misinformation campaign denigrating Canberra just to keep the rest of Australia away haha.
It truly is beautiful when you get to drive around and stay beside the lake as we have.
Great food, not much traffic, big roads, nice people, low crime, [...]

TENT EMBASSY & PARLIAMENT
Yesterday we went to see the tent embassy. We spoke to a few of the people who kept the eternal flame burning. A little bonfire that signifies their fight to reclaim their land.

Last night we spent it right by the edge of the lake looking at Parliament house out our window. I have no idea if [...]

The good thing about traveling from town to town is it really exposes the bulls**t we tell ourselves about our life.

It’s [...]

BEAUTIFUL BRIGHT & Bessie’s Back Soon
Had the most lovely day with BlueBelle in a little town called Bright. This is one of the nicest places I have seen. Idyllic with some of the quaintest knick knack, fairy shops I have seen and a raft of nice café’s.
The Wier and park are just beautiful with a [...]
