Last minute trip! PLAN B

Phone call two hours before my train ride yesterday: Due to extreme flooding along the coast, all trains to the Gold Coast have been cancelled. So, that changed my plans a bit. Since I still really want to get away for the weekend, I decided to go to Canberra, the capitol of Australia. Although it definitely has a bad reputation for being very boring, my reasoning is more to just have a relaxing weekend to myself, so if I sit by the pool the whole time, that is fine by me! But they have some really cool museums, and the city has a very specific set up, so it should be enjoyable. I leave Friday morning (tomorrow) at 10 til 6 in the morning, arriving four and a half hours later. I'll be back on Sunday night at 9:30pm. So although it won't be as fun as Surfer's Paradise, I'm sure I'll have a great time away!
