Monday

Grey skies thus morning but looking forward to 17 and no rain. We head off to Floriade for the morning. I've never been to it before and won't be rushing back any time soon. Unfortunately I think I spoiled it fir everyone by going to the Tulip Top gardens already as they were much more 'wow' than Floriade. However it still made for a very pleasant morning wandering around the park. Then we went to Cockington Green and that was delightful. I hadn't been there for more than 35 years so was very pleasantly surprised to see how much it has been developed. The gardens were just beautiful and the lawn areas were so well manicured that we could hardly believe that it was real lawn. Have included a couple of portraits from yesterday's national Portrait Gallery for you to see if you can work out who they are...

    Floriarde was a bit of a letdown last time we were there too but another place that you should see. Cockington Green, well that's another story...loved it! The National Portrait Gallery sounds awesome and Im not much of a guesser but is it Don Bradman and the ex GG??? Good the weather held up too.

    Well done. It is the great Don Bradman and South Australia's previous Governor Marjorie Jackson Nelson. Would have liked more time to wander around the gallery, but that just means I have to come back to Canberra for more sight seeing.
