Day 2 was a very full day. It took some time, but I finally mastered the photo album (sort of) and managed to post a few photos of our travels. Our hosts took us exploring around Canberra to a number of scenic overlooks, then to the Tidbinbilla nature preserve located about 15 km outside Canberra where we spent several hours and finally to the Tidbinbilla (yes it has the same name) tracking station built in cooperation with NASA for tracking satellites in the southern hemisphere. We ended the day with dinner (a true extravaganza) at friends of our hosts.

The weather was magnificent. Clear blue sky, balmy temperature (upper 70’s to low 80’s) and low humidity. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous.

Canberra is a wonderful city. Unlike most major capitols, Canberra has a small central city surrounded by numerous small suberbs separated from each other by large areas of “bush”. There is a lot of wild life lurking in the “bush” that comes out mostly in the early morning and early evening to forage – much like the deer back home. During “rush” hour, you have to be careful not to run into kangaroos, which the locals here assure us are not very bright. If you do run into a kangaroo, you can count on extensive damage to your vehicle. Rush hour is unlike rush hour at home. The traffic is light, the roads are wide, clean and easy to navigate. You just have to remember to drive on the “wrong” side of the road. Roundabouts (or traffic circles) are used throughout the city in lieu of traffic lights, and with the low congestion, work well to speed up the flow of traffic.

So far, I haven’t had any problem driving on the “wrong” side of the road. The only problem I have had is when signalling for a turn, the windshield wipers are activated. This is due to the location of the turn signal on the right side of the steering column and the windshield wiper controls being on the left. For whatever reason, I just haven’t been able to keep that straight.

I managed to upload a few more photos that we took on our sightseeing tour. At some point I will lable them so you know what you are looking at. We haven’t yet spent time in the central city, but will do so in the next few days, and then you will get to see what that is like. In the meantime, we need to get ourselves ready for day 3.
