Canberra and Cooma

In Cooma we walked to the local Woolies- a far shorter walk than I remember- to grab Lollies (candy), LollyGobbles, Fizzers, Crunchies, and dinner for my grandpa’s house. It is tradition to watch Gone with the Wind everytime we visit, as it is one of three movies there.
A family friend brought us to her farm that I would visit all the time as a kid. It was a lot of fun to visit, seeing all the sheep, cows, and forts. The forest we played in and loved looked very uncomfortable and tight that I would never today want to go in. I suppose that means I grew up!
Back in Canberra we stayed with my Aunt and got to see the first up close kangaroos that were not road kill. We were treated to a delicious stew and a cake made by my cousin. The next day we climbed mt Ainslie with the best view of Canberra and learned about “the very very naughty pollies” or politicians. I made Ryan promise not to spend more than 3 hours in the war memorial museum, and we both promptly lost track of time and spent 5 hours wandering this tragic and educational museum.
We met my friend and her boyfriend drove us to the other best view of Canberra in the arboretum then had the best Thai food in Australia outside of Cooma. Everytime I visit we learn new awesome slang, this time it was “yoot” means pickup truck. We watched TV on the sofa for the last time in a long time, then got up early to head for the airport.
