Just bumbling along .....

Yes, I'm still banging on about our trip to Canberra.
This post starts with us just having left the Australian Capital Territory, and bumbling along the Monaro Highway in New South Wales - making for home now!  



Arrive at Cooma (near the Snowy Mountains).  The rail line has officially been closed for many years... except for Sundays when a special carriage for train enthusiasts and tourists is put into service.






Cute trains. the men with the flags had fun too











We're on the outskirts of Nimmitabel now, and here is my photographic challenge.  Every time we pass, it's either raining or brilliant sunlight.  No good angles to photograph this clever work of art, but here goes:

Finally, home is in the distance
Life is good

Cheers ~ and happy times
