day 5

On arrival in Canberra Barry will introduce us to his friends there who will invite us to morning tea ...... as this will be at Yarralumla please bring your good gear to wear and, please remember, it would be in bad taste to repeat all "Julia" jokes you know at this time.. Barry tells me he has lots of other friends in Canberra who will be happy to make sure we are looked after and have a good time.
