Aug 11, 2025 Heading South

We had a few hours to use up this afternoon in Canberra while we waited for our evening bus to take us to Eden, 4.5 hours to the south.

We visited a small park and saw several bird species, including several curious Pukeko as they are known in New Zealand where we saw plenty of them. They are Austalasian Swamphens, found in 3 areas of Australia, Indonesia, New Guinea and several Pacific Islands as well as New Zealand.

Our Coach sped us into the night, with views of the Australian rolling hills, dotted with white sheep, black cows and mobs of brown kangaroos, all grazing on the winter-brown grasses.

We arrived in Eden well after dark and walked the short distance to our Airbnb, the way illuminated by the full moon reflecting off the calm ocean waters of Twofold Bay.
