Canberri
Well, My dad has just returned from Canberra, my home town, which I absolutely love. So, seeing as everyone thinks Canberra is boring, I thought I'd make a pretty post about its wonderfulness.
Hot air balloons - This actually happens... OFTEN. I remember waking up really early, like 4am and heading down to the oval next to my primary school. in the dark, freezing cold morning, here would be people setting up for a sunrise lift off in hot air balloons. It was the most magical experience.
Capitol Hill... Pretty self-explanatory
Parliament house Wouldn't be a post about Canberra without this... i sang here once... gotta love the fact that the lawn here is still green and healthy when everything else around Canberra is dry and as hard as rock due to water restrictions... And they say they don't waste money...
Autumn Leaves - This is what Canberra looks like in late Autumn. two days later the beautiful leaves will be totally gone, it happens that fast... But its beautiful while it lasts...
ANU - The Australian National University This could *almost* be Flinders... to look at it, except its cooler than Flinders... My Dad went here...
Merry Go Round - this is my childhood in a nutshell, well in a photo really. i remember every Saturday morning, taking mother to work, a mere 100 metres from this great structure. then we would get frozen yoghurt and ride on the merry go round, twice if we were good :)
Political Art - yeah this is cool, look at the SIZE of John Howard... hehe
Pretty new Arts Centre
Captain Cook Fountain - Also known as Big Ben, cool big fountain situated in the middle of Lake Burley Griffen...
Lost of stuff is on/near Lake Burley Griffen, like the Carillion... a present from the French... I THINK... Either way I really like this picture...
Canberra also has cool festivals, like the annual Garden show Floriade You may think this sounds boring, but its not. There are circus performers, and lots of other arty things, plus the flowers are just plain pretty, and every year there is an amazing new design. And yeah, that is a Harry Potter Scarecrow... How cool. I remember one year we went with my cousin... the one with the plastic boyfriend... and there was a performer on stilts, made up to look like a butterfly, with a massive blue and purple costume on and these beautiful floaty wings. It was the coolest thing I have ever seen. I was so fascinated by it... My cousin was so scared she cried... I remember feeling good that day, because she was older than me and cried like a baby...
And that concludes the picture tour of Canberra :D I hope you enjoyed it.
On another note... RAIN COMING :D
