    Bit of a stressful morning, involving injuries and unplanned visits to the vet. Things are well now, and the tension is starting to dissipate. But what a way to spend the morning. 😮‍💨

    Yellow tea-towel on a display with the phrase 'I need a hug' in large letters, followed by 'huge margarita' in small letters. The first three letters of 'huge' were borrowed from the word 'hug'.

    Returned to Tuggeranong this morning for breakfast and a walk around the lake. Really enjoy going to “Tuggers” when I’m in ACT. I can’t quite explain it, but I always get New Zealand vibes whenever I visit.

    New offering at the Cockatiel Cafe: the “breakfast bar”. 🦜

    My favourite gym t-shirt. All the Aussies would get this reference.

    A black T-shirt is displayed with the text 'WE'RE GOIN TA BONNIE DOON' printed on the front in bold white letters, with the line Bonnie Doon Hotel below it on the right.

    This I got from an op-shop but I have been to the Bonnie Doon Hotel a few times. It’s actually pretty nice.

    Day 29: drift

    Drifted a little from the path at this point of my hike today. Could be easy to get lost though, so it was important not to drift too far. #mbapr

    Some emus have moved into a nearby sanctuary a few weeks ago. I managed to catch a glimpse of one during my walk today. A rare treat indeed.
