Did a quick b/day trip to Canberra for Kate's b/day.
Just a couple, Cooma to Bemboka along/over the Great Dividing Range.
A barren landscape, but I love it and the road. Bit of traffic around this arvo.

@Surferdude
That'sa pearler of a  run too. Might take a few pics on next trip.
We go up via Candelo, Bemboka, Brown mtn across the GDR. Was as foggy as all ffck going over Saturday morning. Can't wait for the snow season to start,  views should be awesome  :D
Sometimes difficult steering and pic taking  :lol:
