Ahhh! The smell of spring...in the month of September.
Every year, Canberra (in case you didn't know, it is the capital of Oz land) hosts the flower festival. Thousands of visitors come every year to see this attraction.
Canberra is about 2.5hrs south of Sydney. This past Saturday, my friend invited me to tag along with some friends (who seem to make this pilgrimage every year). I had an early start, 5am, to get to my friend's place at Strathfield (which is probably like a 10-15min drive but with someone who doesn't have a car, no choice but to take a 45min walk + public transportation. Lots of adjusting with that considering I've been driving for close to 15 years. There's just no way you can get anywhere in the bay area without a car!!!). Anyway, meeting up with the people, driving there, stopping for breakfast, then lunch at Canberra, we didn't actually get to the place til 1-130pm. And we were there for about 4hrs. Here are some pictures from the Floriade:
