We left Sydney this morning and headed down the coast on the M-1 motorway and the A-1 Highway and then up the King's Highway to Canberra. Getting out of Sydney in Monday-morning traffic was a real treat, and it took about 2 hours to get down the road out into the countryside. Before we left the hotel, though, Pat made a new friend in the Car Park under the building:
The car was advertising the production of the musical "Grease". Now, all we have to do is figure out how to drive the thing when it arrives at home with the steering wheel on the wrong side!
