Melbourne To Canberra

When down to Melbourne with the girls before flying off to Canberra. It was my first time really walking around and looking at the city since I was here.


We stayed at one of the backpackers lodge in Chinatown and down stairs is a pub. Then caught this underage girl buying a jug of beer!


Flew to Canberra to pay a visit to my brudders who are attached to OBA to kio sai. The base is situated in a quiet part of Tharwa, south of the Australian Capital Territory.


All Outward Bound centres must have their rope course. Similar to the ones back home.


For about a month, this was home for LJ and Connel.


After my arrival, we immediately got down to the first order of business...tai tee! Just like the good old days!


This was all I saw of the capital during my stay. A drive through town on the way to dinner. Apparently I heard you can boulder on the outside of the national library building.


Some of the OBA staff brought us to this restaurant that specialises in native Aussie cuisine like bush tucker and native animals. The kangaroo, crocodile and emu meat wasn't too bad but I can't tell the difference. Didn't dare to take a photo of our dinner cos everybody was hungry and moody after an hour plus wait which we took 15 minutes to finish eating.


The next day we took a bus down to Sydney and had tim sum with Will, an American Instructor working in OBA. Connel Co-instructed with him when the smelly boys were in WA. He is one of the few nicer Americans I met.
