Yesterday we ventured down to our nation's Capital City (Canberra) on an excursion to the Australian War Memorial via Motorcoach.
l was completely blown away with the presentation & quality of our National War Memorial. l will go as far to say that our Australian War Memorial is up there with the best in the world, bar none.
(Above) While soaking up some early Spring Goulburn sunshine, we take afternoon high-tea, consisting of meat pies and Vanilla Slices on the Royal Merino Suite balcony with Steve Core. (selfie).
If you have not been there put it at the top of your list next time you are in Canberra, you will not be disappointed.
We arrived back into Rally HQ in Goulburn around 2:00pm. By now, the short road trip home had raised our appetites, so l suggested that we make a visit to Trapper's Bakery (complete with a huge open log fire) that is located just around the corner from our Goulburn South Caravan Park to purchase some belated lunch.
As you can see in the photograph we settled on a couple of dogs eyes (meat pies) & vanilla slices.

Did we make the right choice for afternoon tea, how good were they, now you would definitely leave home for these two delicacies. Being such a magnificent afternoon we sat on the balcony of our ‘Merino’ Suite in the sunshine & devoured every thing in front of us.
Today, l am off on our mandatory Model A Ford Run from Goulburn to Braidwood dressed in period costume, the round trip is approximately 150 miles or 250 kms.
Seeing that l did such a good job parking all those cars at the Waterworks Museum on Tuesday, they have again given me the nod & the Hi-Viz vest and asked me to park all the vintage Model As in Braidwood today.

Unfortunately Steve will be heading back to Sydney in the morning, so l am going to lose my navigator & will be on my pat malone, hope l don’t get lost out there in sheep country.
They are predicting heavy rain from midnight tonight, let’s hope that the forecast is wrong because it will spoil our day's run.
That’s all for now
Cheers
Warbo
