Sunday, 27 April, 2014 (Trip to Canberra)

The day started waiting for the bus in the rain at the train station across from the Sydney YHA. The train station had the same collection of people that any train station in the states would have had. Some were travelers like us others were taking trains to other places to enjoy their weekend at. The weather here in the southern part of Australia is a lot like the fall weather in my home town in New York. One if the major differences is that almost none of the trees are changing color. All of the trees native to Australia are evergreen trees. On the way to Canberra I saw a wind farm from the bus window. This fits with the information I have been given that states that Australia is very serious about being environmentally friendly. The new word I learned today was that the word fag is for cigarets and not a derogatory term.
