Well we made it to ACT (Thursday 21/3/13)! That in itself was mighty fun, (car troubles) but once we arrived here, we were spoilt so much. Was sad to have just missed Uncle Raymond who had left a few days before. Donna, Geoff, Belinda(though we rarely saw her due to work, and an active social life)& Phillip were more than welcoming. Geoff even cooked us up a veg Laksa, as well as Donna cooking up other awesome treats like "the best" pumpkin soup in the world, Curry's and a pizza night (god we missed pizza). I had to step in one night and request/demand that i cook as i was missing it (a little bit), i got to create some yummy Zucchini fritters, produce grown in Geoff's Veg garden.
Nick and I introduced Sequence to Donna and Geoff, and nearly 4 hours later we were still playing around the kitchen table, being supplied awesome nibble foods,with poor Donna having to go to work the next day, we called it quits (Boys up, for now). First night without the dogs for nearly 3 months. There just happened to be a thunder storm, so we were woken by Sahara who had managed to open up the sliding front screen door and wander through the house to find us (ssh don't tell Geoff). So after a bit of a cuddle Nick went and slept in the van with them, aww :)

We got back from our explorer drive, and straight after dinner we hit up sequence again! ha (girls up now). We planned to catch up with Belinda Saturday night, to see Canberra's night life... Well after picking up Craig on the way Donna dropped us off ( gotta love mum's) to see the "seedy" side of Canberra. See Below
WTF ! Urinals on t\he main street !
So Yes i made a deal with nick, if his"urinal" shot was going up so was my "peace love and drunk" shot. Met a heap of Belindas friends, lovely bunch of people. Although alot of ferals were out as there was a Mauy Thai boxing night on, and alot of randoms wearing costumes, we assume this isnt how Canberra people get their kicks. (walking around in old sailor costumes, and a few ppl mixed in with some random super hero's get ups on show)
So after scabbing a ride home with a lovely "p" plate driver named Brittany, at like 3 am it was off to bed.!!!
We went to the Harvest Festival. Great Idea, and alot of "like minded" people. I ended up gravitating towards a Animals Australia stand, and got some great information, from some lovely people. I have decided to go Dairy Free again. I do not want to support the Dairy industry.
After a third night of sequence the boys came from behind and (somehow) won! Nick Had planned to do some more WWOOFing, but the place didnt want the girlies to come along, so luckily we could stay at Donna/Geoff's and Nick went off. The first day after dropping him off round 6:30 am, in the dark, with fog and frost brr, dont like Canberra cold (earliest start for a while, cept the occasional sunrise, even then we can get back into bed) he came back at lunch time with a box full of organic produce (yah) Next day he got picked up round 6, and dropped off at 4 ish with a 6pack and a handshake, from the owners son. Nick said he really enjoyed himself, and the offer to gan employment was there too! He got back exhausted but managed to get to Kykoshuin karate, trained hard for a few hours, with over half an hour travel each way, came back even more exhausted!! Donna even let Nick use her car which was better on fuel than the snail!!
So we came to pack up on the 27/3/13, and once we got on the road (long story) found out that nick had left his keys and our mobile in the console of Donna's car, which happened to be at work with her. So after driving back to Geoff we found out she had a arvo break in 25 minutes, and we were about 30 away. So off we sped, lucky this was the same way Nick had come to Karate the night before in Donnas car, so we kind of knew where we were going...Made it just in time, got a big last cuddle from Donna, and said our thanks again we were on our way from Canberra!!
Found a really nice camp spot at Binalong, but sadly, a real crazy local woman (who looked friendly enough from a distance while she was walking her dog) was a bit weird, and in the course of telling Nick where he had to go, for the free camp QUOTE 'Dreadlocks are from hell' 'triple J play Devils music'..'see you late you piece of shit' UNQUOTE, Diagnosis turrets??!! Anyways we found this lovely spot, at a football oval, the Girlie's had a good walk around and we had a good rest.
This grasshopper was a freeloader... he hung on for ages, and we needed to pull over to let him off, free ride over.
