Rach's Canberra Visit.

Rach came to visit for a few days this week. We didn't venture too far as I still had to work for the week but there was a great deal of cafes, pubs, lounge bars, restaurants, country roads, markets and random goings on.

Coffee at Spill the Beans.


Lunch time beers at The Phoenix.


Gelati by the lake.



Cocktails and live funk at Trinity Bar.


Markets and a country bakery lunch at Braidwood.


Perfect weather for a drive to the coast.




The National Botanical Gardens were flowering.





We eventually needed a quiet night in to catch up on Scrubs.


Elroy came with us for a hike to the top of Mt Majura.





Tea at Cafe Essen.


Lunch in front of the fire at the pub we discovered on a drive out through Collector.




Wine and dinner with Trent and Steve at Tilley's.




A quiet afternoon tea at Yaralumla Nursery where the cherry blossoms were in bloom.





It seemed like longer than a week which is always a good sign, gotta love how much there is to do in Canberra, despite what people say.
