Travel to Albury

This morning we departed Canberra for a several hour drive to Albury. The drive was beautiful and we watched Rabbit Proof Fence, an Australian movie about three Aboriginal girls taken from their home to be raised as a laborer among the Whites. For a snack we stopped at a colorful rest stop called Dog on the Tuckerbox. The story is too long to write here, but you can probably Google it if you are interested. Then, we stopped for lunch in Holbrook before reaching Albury. The picture below shows the Dog on the Tuckerbox rest stop. (By the way, tucker is food/a meal, so a tuckerbox is something like a lunch box.)
