Hi from Canberra

Ha ha Andrew, looks like she's having fun. The water 'varnish' is a neat trick. I was making a whole stack of bookcases last year and convinced my son he was an important part of the construction process by giving him a bucket of water and a brush. It was the only way I could get them built without him trying to use my drill!

Nice to see some Canberran ex-pats about. I'm a Goulburn boy really - not all that far from Canberra, but more extreme climate. Goulburn gets properly cold, and has that incredible biting wind that cuts right through to your bones. Canberra seems almost tropical by comparison

Sure does, racing an open car at Wakefield Park in June - August is a particularly bracing experience, even more fun when it p155es down for two of the three days of the meeting
