I did notice how the AWM lined up with the Old and New parliaments. <br />When we got home, Joy and I watched Secret City on Netflix, and tried to spot all the familiar bits of Canberra. Not a bad show.Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6519665561624985779.post-68587994674588372672019-01-17T05:46:46.287-08:002019-01-17T05:46:46.287-08:00It was very enjoyable, even if it was two weeks wo...It was very enjoyable, even if it was two weeks work and two weeks holiday.
