Canberra 23rd - 25th Nov

The Siev X Memorial
Anne's first visit to Canberra of particular interest was the SIEV X Memorial which we had been actively involved in but hadn't seen the completed installation - very touching and beautiful thanks to Steve Biddulph and Beth Gibbings for their commitment to ensure Australians will remember this horrific incident.
Ugly Duckling
We enjoyed a walk on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin, lots of people out and about making the most of the sunshine and the beautiful recreational areas.
Saw Julie in action during Q & A during the last week of session at Parliament House.  It was quite funny, like a big rowdy school room.  Enjoyed my first visit to Canberra and it was a bit of a plus for Anne catching up with an old friend and remembering their shared child birth experiences for their Gunnedah days...

  1. I loved Canberra also when I was there - it is definitely a city that I would return to, there is so many interesting places to see and learn from. Great to see the finished memorial - TY for sharing that.
