Day 7: Another Rest Day @ Canberra

March 22nd, 2011

Canberra
Distance: 0km
Total distance: 416km

Today’s weather report says sunny with chances of shower. Initially I wanted to visit the city again and also the parliament but decided to rest at home to manage my photos and update my blog. I continued monitoring the flood conditions, found out that few places in Victoria were experiencing flash flooding. One of them, Wilsons Promontory National Park, was in my destination list, apparently campers were cut off access in that area. Okay, time for a major change of route, the risk of riding in that area is too great.

On the evening, we took a stroll to Dickson to have dinner and bought some food. Dickson is a shopping area that is a bit like Glen Waverly in Melbourne, this is where you find asian grocery, restaurants, and DVD rentals. I guess they must have this here since Canberra city centre doesn’t have a Chinatown. I continued updating my blog and checking the news about the floods around NSW and Victoria at night and ended up sleeping late.
