Just back from visiting our glorious capital, Canberra for a few days.
The driver for the visit was the presence of an exhibit of paintings from Paris' Musée D'Orsay; a wonderful collection of impressionist art.
Highlights of the trip - the Musée D'Orsay exhibit, the National Portrait Gallery, the High Court, new and old Parliament Houses, a number of lovely meals, and Qantas loosing our suitcase for the second time.

Very nice! Worth the drive, I'd say.

beautiful painting

ReplyDeleteOf course its summer in your neck of the woods ... easy to get about when the sun shines.
Not so easy here ... weather misbehaving ... air traffic controllers holding the country to ransom for a 6% salary increase when everyone else is taking pay cuts ... government sitting on their bums waiting for a miracle ... psychotic dogs breaking limbs ... wayward offspring getting themselves mugged ...
But I'm glad you're having a good time. Really.
Well done Quantas! Still, seeing such gorgeous paintings makes up for it!
