A few photos I took when I visited the beach a week or so ago...love some of the names of them...

Love these cheerful little seedpods...they always look like funny little faces...

A walk through the Sculpture Garden at the  Botanic Gardens is well worth the time...so lovely... set in the Australian bush.

After the conference had finished, it was good to be able to check out the Tom Roberts Exhibition that was on at the National Art Gallery in Canberra, while we were there. Tom Roberts is(was) a famous Australian artist...I am sure you can google his name and you will find much better renditions of his art than my mobile camera was allowed to take... Of course with two little boys in tow, it was an interesting visit to say the least, especially because they had a wonderful room for kids to play, dress up, paint, draw...what fun to keep them happy and amused while we could pop out and get another look for ourselves... Lunch outside was a perfect place to finish, with a glimpse of a art work suspended in the distance...

Part two of my gallivanting around the countryside namely accompanying my daughter and grandson to daughter's conference in the nation's capital Canberra a couple of weeks ago.. Great to get away for a bit and see another part of the country..one that wasn't quite so humid! Though it does seem to have cooled down a little here for the ,moment. I took myself over to the beach for fish and chips today, since all the tourists have now departed after their summer holidays, and one can almost get a park if early enough. Unfortunately the surf is a little rough for swimming at the moment ...sigh.
