canberra

arrived in Canberra in time for a late lunch on the lake by the Carillon. Visited Robert and Robyn for evening drinks, nibbles, followed by dinner. Today we got some culture, with Robert and Robyn who were our chauffers for the day. First stop, the Bald archies for some satirical portraits, (Tony Abbott in his speedos was a favoured theme), then early lunch at Tilley Devine's cafe gallery, before heading to the national gallery to see the post-impressionist masterpeices from the Musee D'Orsay in Paris (Van Gogh, Gauguin, Cezanne etc). worth seeing, but as with all art, some appealed more than others. very busy at the gallery.
