Back to Canberra

 Another trip to Canberra for dentist and a couple of croquet matches.  

The first images shows the outcome of 'pesticide' use along Imlay Rd.  We didn't stop to read the signs but I think it was an all embracing herbicide that nailed everything.  In a few areas the spray had drifted into the trees off the verge.

Once in the South East Forests NP it looked as though they had slashed rather than sprayed.  A good thing, but we didn't take a snap of that.

We found a log truck crawling up a hill for a km or so but was able to get past him OK  Once on the Monaro Highway we met this peleton doing 15 kph.  
The caravan had a couple of looks at getting past but pulled back in, so I - I suspect knowing the road better than the van driver - made with the loud pedal and got past all three in about 100m.  I kept out to give the van driver a hint that all was clear but he held back: I suspect he was still behind them when they got to Bombala.

After refuelling in Bombala we headed off to check Black Lake.  No Stilts - they must all still be out West - but lots of waterbirds.  As we had things to do in Canberra we didn't spend a huge time there  but enough to record estimates of the three commonest species.
Acquired a new keyboard (Roland) for Frances at Better Music and got advice about the prospects for repair of the old one.  The indicators for the old one were not good so, having it in the car we swung by Revolve.

A bit of shopping and some libations was followed by looking at matters in the sky.  The first image was taken at 1742 ...
 
.. then 1751 ..
..  and finally 1756.
The next three came at points between the times above.
