Cycling Around the lake
Canberra - 7th January

Today we thought we would be adventurous and bike around Lake Burley Griffin, which is in the centre of Canberra. We thought no hills, my how wrong were we. There was not too many but I managed to get conned into towing Emily in a trailer, not so easy going up the hills! Still we did have heaps of fun and enjoyed the slow travel and enjoying the views around the lake. We stopped for some morning tea at the dam/ outlet for the lake, and then lunch at the yacht club on the waters edge.

After Lunch we cycled around the lake some more and through the government area where the museums etc are. Also visited the  National Carillon, which is on an island. Here also there was a wedding taking place, though it seemed the bride was running a bit late!!

Returning back to the bike hire we were all relieved to get rid of the bikes, after our riding of 20 or so km, certainly my bottom was happy to be not sitting anymore!

On the way home we drove via one of the City lookouts.
