 First stop today, collect our hire car (a VW T-Roc), generously, Don and Jill rose to the occasion and drove us ove to the Hertz depot in Queenbeyan.

 The offto the Deep Space Tracking Station at Tidbinbilla where a very interesting talk on their work and also the universe and is there life out there.(Apparently we haven't found it yet but it's more than likely although it may not be "life as we know it".

 

The on to "Cuppacomalong" for lunch and a look at the gardens.

We finished the day with a tour of Lanyan Homestead, a historic home set up to display what life was like in the mid 1800's and early 1900's. The house has been owned by the ACT government since the 1970's.

  Thanks to the excellent work of Noeline, who sadly, along with Alan, couldn't attend, a rally to the rally took place to get some of us to Canberra.   Maritta and I, being  on the eastern side of Melbourne chose to meet other ralliers in Sheparton, some from the west, traveled to Nagambie on Thursday and the Sheparton for lunch on Friday.   First stop, the magnificent MOVE Museum in Sheparton for a look at the display, then lunch before motoring on to Corowa for our first night stop.    The collection has exxpanded dramatically since our last visit. It now holds part of the Farran bicycle collection, the Thompson gown collection and also a large display of trucks and prime movers.    Defenitely worth a visit.
