My train to Canberra approaching Bundanoon. From Canberra, I'll fly home to Melbourne.
I was planning on catching the train all of the way home, but decided to avoid North East Victoria because of the bushfires.

Back in Sydney for a few hours. It's a bit damp, but I took a ride out to Many on a Freshwater Class ferry.
Very happy to see them still in service, but I thought they planned to retire them a few years ago?
