Cotter Campground (Canberra)

Post by Stephen Whiteside » Thu Mar 03, 2016 7:29 pm

I visited Canberra earlier this week to attend the Parliament House launch of the Dorothea Mackellar Poetry Competition, in my capacity as judge of the Secondary Students' section. I didn't fancy shelling out for plane fares and motels - besides, I had a few days off - so I drove up and back and camped at the Cotter Campground - only about twenty minutes out of town. It was something of a revelation as I hope these photos will attest.

Wow! Beautiful shots, Stephen. Someone once said the scenery around Canberra was "about as interesting in having your head in a paper bag".

I've never agreed with that, and you have just completely refuted it! :D
