Photo blog: Canberra trip again!

Over the weekend, Eric and I, sat on our Tomato, and off we went down South to Canberra! This has now almost became a tradition. We only drive down for weddings. 

So, whose the lucky couple this time?

It's Tim and Emily Mitchell!

I'll upload the beautiful sceneries for you all to see first.
I love the I drive south. So green and lots of space!
We set off from home at 8.30am after a long battle of getting Eric out of the house. (I was furious when Eric took 45mins(!!) in the bathroom. And we agreeded the night before to leave the house at 8am) We only manage to leave sydney at 9am, after dropping by the other house to pick up last min toiletries and stopping at the bakery to grab breakfast.


We went up n down the valleys.


And through the plains.


Oh I love these trees. Now, they look botak. However in autumn, their leaves will turn bright yellow, just like gold scales shinning in the sun. These trees are only found around the exit for Federal Highway, leading into Canberra. So these trees also reminded me I had 1/3 of the journey left. The whole journey takes about three and a half hours.


This time, we were surprised with a different scenery on the road.


Canola fields!!


So pretty!! Some cars couldn't resist and stop illegally at the side of the freeway, jump across the fence to take a closer look and of course snap photos. 


As it is spring time, all the trees and shrubs are blossoming. Like these wattles along the freeway, showing off their beautiful yellow flowers. Unfortunately, they are alo the source of hay fever in Canberra.


Happy week ahead!
