Showering In Canberra Showers

9.40AM

Aquatic Centres have school carnivals today according to a search, so I went to this spotvat Weston Park and fortunately it was unpeopled. 

Had a cubicle to heat the water and not wet the jet, and showered with the lake in view, lush foliage around, no one here and no wind. Absolutely one of the best. Exciting to pull it off, too. 

Heavier rains later today and evening. Have to work out where I’m staying and get dinner early. Will go and do that now. 10 AM

6.25 PM

Quite an unusual and possibly very fortuitous day. After the shower I think I got groceries and headed to Mawson. Looked okay once again for a stopover. Problem is sport: tennis or training right next to the carpark.

Did some internet searching and drove to have a look. It’s pretty close to Mawson which means also the hospital.

First to Wanniassa which looks just fine. Then:

Smack into Kambah history. I must have seen this as a kid, often Ivsurveyed, chainmanned, out here and we came regularly. Can’t recall yet though.

Could stay in that area, but seems it’s patrolled at 8PM and 7AM.

Then suddenly I was upon mountains and a valley and country.

Those might be the Brindabellas.

Farther down the road are Kambah Pools. Natural, I think. I didn’t go down in the wet, bit steep. But must go back. That could be a country stay closer than Brooks Hill.

So here I am now, updating in Mawson carpark, in the rain, dull, rain deflectors in place, wondering if I’ll sleep. Socdar so good, although someone drove in next door, looked, and zoomed off.

Heavy rain around 11 tonight apparently. I don’t mind. I found country!

7.30 PM

Fuck. The oval lights just came on.
