Left early in the morning to attend my cousin's wedding ceremony in Canberra. Canberra's about 270 km from Sydney, but it took us about 4 hours to get there this long weekend due to number of holiday-seekers heading in the same direction and also the number of kid (pit)stops we took along the way. The lovely occasion was a wonderful opportunity to meet family members in Canberra.
In the two days that followed the wedding, we joined the thousands of visitors who enjoyed the beautiful display of tulips in Canberra's most celebrated annual Floriade. The tulips and other annuals were cleverly planted to paint the landscape in all hues imaginable.
m stopped to smell the tulips (roses).
And who else is best to talk about roses other than Graham Ross from Better Homes & Garden!!!
Even gnomes found their way to Floriade in Canberra. Can anyone spot our Prime Minister?
Another must-sees in Canberra are the Parliament House, and the War Memorial. The Parliament House is open 7 days a week to the public unless a hearing session is on. The latter has a new Discovery Centre for kids to let them realise what's it like being in action, for example riding an original helicopter used in the Vietnam war, hiding during an air raid and patrolling in a submarine.
