<\/b>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.<\/p>\n

I managed to grab a few Geocaches<\/a> while I was here, and dropped off a couple of travel bugs<\/a>.
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n

We went out on Friday night to the Brewmaster<\/a> bar & grill. Quite a few beers were sampled. We got a live episode of cops <\/u>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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
