Happy New Year to all! We hope the coming 365 days bring you perfect flyless days, mosquito and midgie free evenings, and silent birds and cicadas during the nights.

We hadn't seen much of Canberra other than the War Memorial the day before, so before leaving town we decided to have a better look around. First we went to the Parliament House, where we learned how the Australian system of government works.

After dropping off the rest of the gang at the National Museum of Australia, Ryan and I returned to the War Memorial Museum. We hadn't gotten our fill the day before in the best military history museum in the world I've ever visited. The Memorial to the Fallen Soldier is especially moving.

A couple dozen stone carvings of Australian animals lined the walls of the
courtyard of the Eternal Flame. This is a cassowary, which we searched for so
diligently in Queensland. |
We left Canberra and drove to the Royal National Park just south of Sydney, our final camp spot in Australia. It would be Ryan's last night in Oz.
