Best Bakery this side of the Equator?
We are so proud of ourselves ... last Sat we busted the borders of the Australian Capital Territory and headed into the wilds of the rest of New South Wales. We were kinda tired of staying cooped up in a small town (yes, Canberra IS small - and compared to Singapore, SPARSE!) for sooo long. Drove something like 90kms to reach Braidwood, an ulu (read: remote) town east of Canberra.
Very small I must say, one main street and that's it. And they're fighting to keep the town 'historical' - retain its old world charm. Spoke to someone at the Tourism Office there, he's like nearly 80 and has travelled all over the world in his younger life. Europe, Africa, Asia, you name it.
The highlights of our little day trip - the Braidwood Bakery! Best bakery in New South Wales (well, u kinda must justify spending all tt expensive petrol to get there) -- really good pies, tarts, bread, etc. Also, now Joey's tested to be relaxed, comfortable and quiet for 90kms! And what's more, learnt that Braidwood is one of the gateways into some really pristine national parks in the region, where one can do hiking, canoeing, birdwatching, etc ...
So we should try to wander further in future.

90 km . . is that like an hour's drive ? Well the cafe looks homely and if the pastries are that great . . it's worth burning all that rubber.
Yup about an hour there and back. But the roads are single lanes and our little Corolla was struggling up some of the slopes, which were quite steep. But overall, all the space, greenery and quiet sures beats travelling up and down CTE!
