Cold Canberra

Cooper woke up bright as a button just before the 4.30am alarm. We were on the road just after 5 and fortunately the kids went back to sleep. We had a good run through the city - We couldn't believe the amount of traffic on the freeway already. We stopped at Euroa Service centre for a hot chocolate and toilet stop. The car was going well until a warning light for the performance chip came on which Rick decided to disable. We fueled up at Albury and pressed on till Holbrook where we got out, had a run around and clambered over the submarine. Another couple of hours in the car and Canberra was in our sights. It was rainy and cold. We arrived in Canberra about 2.30 and found the Exhibition Park Camp ground - powered site for $30 a night. We definitely needed power because the heater is staying on all night - it is freezing! We have all got our thermals on and boarded up the vents in the van to try and keep the warmth in. The kids have got awful coughs and Cooper's asthma has returned. I am contemplating taking them to a doctor tomorrow. They have also lost their appetites and it was Cooper's turn to vomit tonight after trying to get him to eat some dinner! One day maybe enough in Canberra and we will return in the summer time.
