The Arboretum

After a morning walk with the dogs around the local area we headed back to Canberra to the visit the National Arboretum.

They had an excellent bonsai tree display, superb playground for the kids and a huge air-conditioned cafe for lunch. It was hot outside whilst we played on the climbing frame and swings which was fun.

The skies changed quickly from a blue to a dark grey. We started our journey back and the Thunderstorm beat us. The heavens opened and giant hailstones once again fell from the sky.

Unfortunately the rain continued for the whole journey back to Wollongong, along with a section of very thick fog. We made it back safely, if a little later than originally planned due to the driving conditions. Our friends had prepared a wonderful meal, followed by a nice relaxing evening.
