Bringing it all together in one place.
I thought it was worth bringing the whole story of Sabina and my trip to Canberra as part of #HumanBrochure in one place. What better way than the best of the audio and images I could find from the greater group of people we meet on the week-end.
Adventure in Canberra for Sabina and Ian.
Ian Kath and daughter Sabina are off for a week-end of Adventure to discover Canberra and meet a heap of new friends thanks to being a ‘Human’ as part of #HumanBrochure

@BabycinosRock Pleasure to meet you all last nightIan Kath
Here is @jimmyamerica and I with two of our @AWMemorial #humanbrochure tour guides. I didn’t catch their names so we’ve been referring to them as Sgt. Awesome (army) and Handsome Dan (sailor). Handsome Dan gets his name because he did an awesome jaunty jig for us! #warmemorial #win #igers #canberra #photooftheday #sailor #army #awesomeViolet LeBeaux

A bright and early start and it was off to Mt Stromlo for some mountain biking.

As a fan of the sciences I felt very sad to see the remains of the old Mt Stromlo Observatory. Fortunately much have now been rebuilt.
Ian with burnt out ObservatoryIan Kath
Allmost everyone, got through the rides unscathed.
Injured humans. #humanbrochuregrum
Young guys with too much Testosterone put on some BMX trick riding for us over the mounds. Impressive to say the least.

Saturday Lunch
As fine as it looks on the outside with a fresh coat of paint…
Observatory Looks Okay but…Ian Kath
…the observatory is burnt out with the charred remains of the instrument standing as a sad reminder of the 2003 firestorms.
TelescopeIan Kath
Next to the ruins of the burnt out observatory we had lunch at Scope Cafe.
Good place to visit and have a feed #humanbrochureIan Kath
And we ate, and drank, and ate, and drank, and …

Saturday Afternoon
Mid afternoon after having again too much to eat for lunch it was time to walk through the bush to Mt Ainslie and have a look over Canberra.
Mind you most people were having an afternoon Nanna Nap or lazing by the pool.
Human antics! @iankath #humanbrochurenessclick
Walking up to the top of Mt Ainslie is an easy stroll and well worth the effort to see Canberra from another point of view. There is car access to the top also.
Beautiful autumnal day walking Mt Ainslie #humanbrochureIan Kath
Canberra… its over there.Ian Kath
The view from on high over Canberra is quite spectacular.
Canberra from Mt Ainsley #HumanBrochure.Ian Kath
Don’t miss going up Mt Ainslie even if you drive. It’s quite a view of the whole area around Canberra.
Saturday Evening
In case we were fading after the ride up Mt Stromlo and walk up Mt Ainslie we had to be indulged in even more food. This time for our group it was at Thirst.
Thanks Justin & staff at Thirst for wonderful night of Thai fusion food. Stunning exemplary service. #HumanBrochure http://4sq.com/12TyUxnIan Kath
The humans are having a Thai feeding frenzy at Thirst. #humanbrochureIan Kath
Afterwards, while the others partied, I snuck off to dance some tango with friends.

Sunday Morning
The Amazing Race around Lake Burley Griffin was the activity for Sunday morning.
Briefing for "The Amazing Race" #humanbrochure #adventureIan Kath
Jump on a bicycle and see the sights of Canberra, tagging sites with our cameras while trying to win the prize for the winning team of six.

A few of us were even lucky enough to have a ride on a Segway. What a hoot!

We were fortunate to have stunning fine cool Autumnal weather for the Amazing Race.

Ship of Fools team for the win (if fourth place counts…) #humanbrochureLuke Freeman
After complaining due to poor service from the hotel Grum was placated with a couple of bottles of wine which he gave way for the best drawing of a dinosaur.
For those #humanbrochure kids, check out the super secret Facebook group for instructions on how you can score a bottle of wine ;)that grum guy
I was sure Sabina would win this and so it was…
Surprisingly the Crowne Plaza pencils came in handy #wgopn cheers! #humanbrochureSabina Kath
Sunday Lunch
In case we used up too many kilojoules riding around the lake in the morning we had one final lunch with everyone a short bus trip from the hotel.
Luncheon time #humanbrochureIan Kath
Food glorious food, and wine, and beer, and… Again!
Starter surprise #humanbrochureIan Kath
Oh no. @grum’s lunch but no sign of @grum #humanbrochure #manflu @ Belluci’s http://instagr.am/p/V0JMLIvGrS/ikacy
Then when we thought we’d had all we could take it was time to return to the hotel for more drinks and nibbles.
Sunday Afternoon
Time to say our last farewells…

Everyone had a great time but not everyone agreed on all topics

Thanks to everyone at Australian Capital Tourism for organising #HumanBrochure and giving us a chance to have a week-end of indulgence in Canberra.
It was an absolute hoot and a great opportunity for this Dad to spend some quality time his his now adult daughter in ways which made this a very special week-end.
