Queanbeyan (May 2018)

Posted on by akitchener

Mother’s Day weekend in Queanbeyan (across the NSW-ACT border from Canberra) and visits to the iconic Loaded Dog Hotel in Tarago, the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, Corin Forest and Corin Dam. It was cold and a little wet Friday and Saturday, perfect on Sunday.
