Canberra -10,680 miles from home

Arrived in Canberra, the administrative capital of Australia (and an
early C20th compromise between bicking Melbourne and Sydney) this
morning on a short hop from Sydney. Had a decent day of work,
although I am slightly stressed about being bitten by a Redback while
I'm here. Hotel is decidedly average, so I'm prepared to go and have
a walk round for brekkie in the morning. Good news is that I was here
for the first rain in months - cue lots of jokes about bringing Brit
weather with me!
