It’s nice city, friendly people, just large enough that everything you might need is here but small enough that getting around isn’t too bad.
I managed to grab a few Geocaches while I was here, and dropped off a couple of travel bugs.
One of the caches was apparently 950m along a trail. Of course the trail wasn’t a straight line so you think it might be about 1km walk. Measured with Runkeeper it was 1.8km, turns out the trail went all over the place. Still it was a nice walk through the forest. Good timing as well, it started to rain just as I got back to the car.

I stopped at a supermarket to get some supplies. By the time I came out the rain was torrential. The 30m from shelter to car drenched me. Ah well, I was heading back to the hotel anyway. Now I would just drip through reception like a fur seal.
We went out on Friday night to the Brewmaster bar & grill. Quite a few beers were sampled. We got a live episode of cops outside for entertainment as 3 police cars and a police segway turned up to detain a gentleman. After a few more beers and a whiskey to finish the night we took a cab back to the hotel.
Odd things you spot, a local service station/convenience store called Kangaroo! We don’t even have that in Australia. I didn’t manage to drop in and see if they had anything interesting. There was also a Outback Steakhouse just up the road that I didn’t manage to sample.
