Canberra
That’s “canbra,” by the way — it’s a two-syllable word around here. And speaking of, Melbourne has a silent R — “Melbun.” Another colloquialism I ran into this week: sausage. As in “did you get anything for your birthday?” — “not even a sausage.” Or, as I heard it first used, “he didn’t say sausage about it in the meeting.” Origin unknown.
Anyway, we spent the day calling on people in the capital city and I snapped a few pictures. Not many, because we were mostly inside meeting rooms and those all look pretty much the same.
Headed for the airport. Goodbye, Australia.
