Floriade Festival - Mind, Body & Soul




We visited the Floriade Festival in Canberra and spent a most enjoyable morning walking around the glorious flower beds. If I did not know what Floriade was I would have guessed some sort of flower-flavoured drink like Rose Hip Syrup.




We encountered some local residents, or were they politicians, taking it easy under a tree and looking very pleased with themslves. Perhaps they were from Treasury - Gnomes of Canberra rather than Zurich. No place like Gnome!


One of the more surprising sights was the Berlei Bus (14D - or the Big Bra) with a long queue of women waiting to be fitted for an over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder as Bette Midler once descibed them. We were sure there was a guy in the queue!
