Realized that I'd left my power converter back in "Berry" (about 60km up the road), so I headed back. Luckily, it was still there. People: mind your power adapters! Those fuckers are easy to forget.I decided that all the coastal rambling was wonderful, but (a) torturing me b/c I can't swim due to my recent surgery and (b) still off-season and pretty quiet.So, I read about the Australian capital: Canberra! Seat of Australian power! Center of politics! Host to any number of important cultural institutions.It's fucking Sacramento, man.
The drive out here was intense...the North South Wales countryside (in many places) looks a lot like Sonoma County.
Then, there's these other primeval jungly-mesa formations that I are unlike anything I have ever seen. I stumbled upon this RAW national Park, Morton NMP, with a super-sick 1200 foot waterfall. This ain't Glacier Pt, kids: the observation deck is actually suspended in the air, and you are standing on a grate looking directly down through air at the falls below. AWESOME.
Also, the eucalypts are loved here. They comprise 97% of all trees in Australia and support rich ecosystems. They just get a bad name b/c they fuck up the California ecosystem.
I don't know whey they call them "eucalpyts". Where is the "us"? Is Uranus just "Uran"? Or is it it just your "anus"?
