Canberra was an opportunity too good to miss to catch up friends.  Our erstwhile ‘Big Lapper’ traveling companions the Lonerghans had recently relocated from Adelaide. After setting up in a noisy caravan park in Fyshwick, we met them at Canberra’s Arboretum before a relaxing take away dinner and chat at their flat in town.

Next morning it was off to see Kris’s old friends the Fayes at Yarralumla. We were meant to see them the week before Christmas, but our car decided that was just not to be. It was great to see them and meet their newest family member, Anneliese. After a delicious brunch, we all packed into Betsy and hit the Hume to meet my dad in Westleigh, Sydney for more family reunions.
