Day 20: Fri 04 Mar – Bombala to Canberra

Drive: 204km

Ride: 16 km 

We had breakfast and Greg went for a walk around the property with Nell.  Triona had to work at Pambula today and had to leave at 8am.  So, after she left we packed up and were on the road by 9am.  We stopped for mornos in Cooma – McCafe, this time with our own food.  One of Wendy's previous bosses lives in Cooma so we tried to contact him to see if we could drop in to say g'day.  Wendy emailed and SMS'd him all to no avail (we got a reply email some days later saying that although he was out of the Army he was still working full-time in Canberra, hence not being available in Cooma). 

We arrived at 6 O'Rourke St (Dale and Suz's place) about 12:30pm, setup the van (Greg did a marvelous job of reversing the van into quite a tight spot), had lunch and a snooze before Suz and the kids arrived home.  It was time for more grocery shopping which we did at Woolies at the Hawker shops.  After unpacking it all, we went for a ride around Lake Ginindera, which was a lovely way to end the day.

As Dale was going to the Brumbies game, and Suz was registering for her 50 km walk tomorrow, there was no-one home, so we just had a simple salad for dinner as we'd already had a hot meal for lunch – left-over lamb stew that mum had given us
