We moved to the Capital of Australia last June.
What a wonderful place to live and grow at this stage of life.
The trees and land are like nothing I've ever seen. Colors of blue-grey and others of ochre and copper and tan. I'll always remember the first time we saw a "mob" of kangaroos in the wild! Wonderful! Canberra (pronounced /ˈkænbɹə/[3]) is the capital city of Australia. With a population of over 340,000, it is Australia's largest inland city.(from wikipedia)Thanks to Kelli Hughes for the information.
While it is a very well planned urban area which keeps traffic moving with a series of roundabouts, you can be surrounded by wilderness in 20 minutes by heading outward from the center of the city.
I have been here 2 months now, and am still learning the lay of the land.
There is lots to see, and even more top learn.
Australian culture has a flavor all its own, it is an acquired taste for some.
The people here are a blend of proper and quirky behaviors.
One thing for sure is they LOVE sports. (More to learn there as well)
Suddenly, baseball seems "exotic".
I'm still a New England girl from America, and have met other Americans here for various reasons; yet I am drawn to know more about these people, and their diversity of culture.
I'm here for the long ride I think, well, just let things "unfold" and enjoy the journey here in this land of rolling hills and mountain ranges, exotic birds and wildlife, and beautiful blue skies.
