Australia Day 8 - Canberra and Snowy River country

Friday morning we drove to the National War Memorial, but it didn't open for another half hour, so we took some pictures and headed out of Canberra.

We drove south to Cooma, gateway to the Snowy Mountains, where we stopped for lunch. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to drive into the mountains, and it was a little too cloudy to really see them from the hill outside Cooma.

We continued south until we hit the coast, then turned west again and crossed the Snowy River. We stopped for the night in the town of Bairnsdale, a few hours east of Melbourne.
