Before the trip - Beautiful Canberra

Sunday 9 October 2017

 This is a practice blog post, in preparation for our trip to Europe. Only 5 more sleeps til we leave!

The last few months have seen plenty of rain and storms, interspersed with some lovely sunny days. The creek/drain in Telopea Park was the fullest we have ever seen it after one particularly heavy (for Canberra anyway!) downpour. Can't even see the concrete edges. 

The sunny days have been perfect for a walk at the National Arboretum and a visit to Floriade. Floriade and Nightfest had to be closed for an unprecedented two days due to the rain and the flowers stood up well to the strong winds and hail storm that lashed town the night before my visit.
