Australia Day, Canberra style. It's hot. We don't do the Australia Day eve concert, except this year the Woden Valley Youth Choir were singing at the Australian of the Year ceremony which was on before the concert. So there was a bit of faffing around dropping off Claire at the right place and right time. I sat in the shade in the Senate Rose Gardens for an hour and a half until it was time to collect her again. As we left people were flooding in from everywhere. We were much happier at home eating a spectacular meal of duck legs cooked with plums.
Our Australia Day tradition, when in Canberra, involves a visit to the National Museum in the morning and then the fireworks in the evening.
We did artworks with rubbing and made amazing hats. We love the museum because it is air conditioned!
(Claire wears a fez now. Fezes are cool.)
Home to prepare a picnic and then off to the lake for the fireworks where we met friends we had planned to meet, and others who just happened to be sitting next to us.
A good day all around.
