Floriade


Floriade is a BIG deal in Canberra. It is an annual flower (and cultural) event that takes place in the centre of the city. It's a fantastic show (free admission too!) and is mobbed everyday with visitors.

This year the theme was Australian film, and so the flower beds were laid out to represent Australian Films (Muriels Wedding, Kenny, Crocodile Dundee, Shine etc).

It's a lovely day out and Audrey seemed to enjoy the bright colours of the flowers.

She enjoyed the 'Petting Paddock' slightly less! There was a small paddock given over to children where kids could pet assorted farm animals from cows(!) to sheep, ducks, chickens, rabbits etc.

I'm not sure if Audrey has ever held onto me quite so tightly - even the docile and placid rabbit seemed to terrify the life out of her. Once we start giving her pocket money we can get a pet (so she can pay the vets bills)
