Road Trip 07 - Day Eleven

Tags: canberra, fashion, gem, melbourne, sydney, travel

We are now in Sydney after traveling from Melbourne to Canberra to Sydney. The drive went really quick with me and Gem splitting the driving but we did get to Canberra a bit later then expected after stopping in the morning at the Queen Victoria Markets in Melbourne before heading off.

We actually ended up buying a few good things such as a Jaguar E-Type metal poster/sign for Gemma’s Dad and I ended up buying some new shoes as well that were too hard to turn down!

After finally leaving Melbourne in the late morning we went for our 667km trip to Canberra. It was a fairly easy drive however we really struck some problems when arriving in Canberra. We got there around 8pm (9pm NSW time) and went to find a motel to stay in overnight, problem was that they were all booked out as the Canberra Show was starting the next day and all of the vendors, display owners etc. were staying in overnight. We finally got lucky at around 11:30pm and stayed on the outskirts of Canberra.

In the morning we went to go see the Parliament House followed by the War Memorial as Gem had never been to those locations before. Around midday we set off to Sydney which was around a 300km drive but the slowest section was through the city but the tunnels certainly made it that bit more quicker!
