  1. You have an excellent memory and yes the Wattle is stunning in Canberra in Spring. We didn’t get to the Australian War Memorial this visit but it is highly regarded.
  2. I remember visiting my relatives in Devon at summertime as a child and i loved the Cornish Pasties, Ploughman Lunches at the pubs and the ice blocks (had a different name I can’t recall)at the pebble beaches and the Devonshire cream teas.
  3. “Connection” Aboriginal art, dance & music at the National Museum of Australia in Canberra by the same people who did Van Gogh Alive.
  4. Australian National Botanic Gardens ( Canberra). Explored for 2hrs when it first opened this morning. So much Wattle. So much Australian flora. So many birds (photo shy) but Birdsong was glorious.
  5. DD & 6 friends were lucky enough to secure highly sought after tickets for the Sydney Swans vs Collingwood Preliminary AFL Final at the SCG last weekend. Unfortunately, they were seated right in the middle of the Collingwood fan section but were absolutely delighted when the Swans won by a nail biting one point. The AFL Grand Final is on in Melbourne today. Impossible to get tickets and flight prices are ridiculous so they are barracking for their favourite team from afar. Came across two swans yesterday whilst walking in Canberra. The Captain Cook memorial jet fountain is in the background.
  6. Currently in Canberra. Day pass is $9.60 and I missed the bus. Ended up using light rail, Uber, my feet, free Floriade shuttle & Light Rail 🤪
  7. Yes, we bought it new. It’s now our son’s car but daughter borrowed it for the camping weekend. We have since bought a new Subaru Impreza. Smaller car but it suits the two of us.
  8. For those of you who own Subaru Outbacks - info you will never need to know - 3 girls can comfortably sleep in one overnight - if a storm comes through whilst camping and the tent floods…
  9. Geez - lots of hospital visits followed those videos… My brother was telling me his FIL has been banned by his family from using the chainsaw. He managed to nick his leg with chainsaw. He hid his sliced & bloody pants in the bottom of the washing hamper. Didn’t say anything to anyone and then later after dinner, calmly said to his wife, I think you better drive me to the hospital
  10. Their website says Mon-Fri but booking confirmation says daily and we need the shuttle on a weekend and they just said to let them know our boarding time when we know it.
  11. @Lionesss Stay safe. We have a public holiday tomorrow as a National Day of Mourning. The entire east coast is being warned of heavy rain.
  12. What do you guys think of Wahlburgers? We walked past their store at Circular Quay on Saturday at lunchtime and it wasn’t particularly busy.
