Albury, Canberra and The Blue Mountains

Sorry for the delay in blog entries, but you're about to get bombarded, as we are staying somewhere with on-site computer access now.

To cut a long story short, after The Great Ocean Road we went Albury for 1 night, as a stop-over and then on to Canberra for 1st June. We stayed for a few nights and relaxed, as there was not much to see & do. We have included a photo of their Parliament House, but that was about as interesting as it got!

we did however, get see the new Indiana Jones film and then once we got to The Blue Mountains, Andrew insisted on doing Indiana Jones style poses for the photos, which thankfully, we have only included 1 of.

We stayed in a lovely B&B in the moutains at a place called Katomba and as you can see from the photo, Shivani is still not prepared to comprimise on the standard of accommodation!

We hiked for 4 hours in the mountains, which included descending 1000 steps into the causeway and then trekking past streams, waterfalls and through rainforest. Then catching the scenic railway, a near vertical train, back up the mountain to finish with another trek back to Echo Point, where we started. We finished by having a well earned Devonshire Cream Tea by the fireplace in the best hotel in The Blue Mountains called Lilianfels.

We loved The Blue Mountains, even though the 2 days we were there they weren't particularly blue, more grey, due to the weather not being great.
