Braidwood and Majors Creek-NSW

We have over Easter visited Canberra,Majors Creek and Braidwood for a wedding,
Canberra stopping with rellies, Majors Creek attending a wedding,Braidwood, sightseeing.

Braidwood is a quaint historical Gold mining town about halfway from Canberra to the East coast of Australia.
Majors Creek is 15 minutes East of Braidwood and also has a Gold mining history.

Here are some pics of our journey.

While in Majors Creek we stayed in an old historical hotel.

Braidwood is a place I would recommend to visit while staying in Canberra.
On the way there is another historical town called Bungendore and also you could visit the Majors Creek area.
There is another post on this blog showing the restored Bungendore Railway Station.

Canberra April 2015

We have just returned from a week long holiday visiting relatives in Canberra,ACT.

We hired an eight seater van (Kia Carnival) and headed off on our great eastern road trip from South Australia.

It was great to take some of our rellies on tours around Canberra.

We visited the Canberra Zoo which was good but because it was a cold and windy day the animals were mostly keeping out of the cold.

We also visited the Aboretum, Tidbinbilla Space Tracling Staion,Tidbinbilla Wildlife Reserve and a plant nursery and general touring of the suburbs.

We took the long way home staying in Beechworth,Moama and Pinnaroo on consecutive nights.

Here are a few pics from our Canberra holiday.
