Từ khi tốt nghiệp đã 12 năm. Kể ra thì đã quay lại nhiều lần, nhưng lần này có lẽ vui nhất . Tụ tập đủ các khuôn mặt của mấy anh em lứa đầu - thời 1991. Cái thời còn tụ tập ở mấy cái bàn gỗ ăn trưa và bàn chuyện sang UC cưa...
I think I can confidently predict that Working Dog's new production The Hollowmen (ABC, 9:30pm tonight) will be one of the highest rating television shows in Canberra this week. Well, it's an easy call given the ABC pretty much wins the ratings here week in week out anyway. Snooty, aren't we? From a...
What would make you question a friendship? Submitted by stueykins. Actually this is quite topical for me. I just got a message on facebook from a former Canberra friend who I haven't spoken to in 10 years. The message was all chatty and friendly and finished up saying "I don't know why we lost...
Last week since we had no plans for the weekend, my partner and I decided that a family weekend away was in order. And since we had visited only very fleetingly a couple of years ago, we decided to make the nation's capital, Canberra, our destination. So we booked ourselves a nice little apartment...

THE STAFF AT THE GALLERY SHOP AT THE NATIONAL ART GALLERY ARE RUDE AND INSUFFERABLE AND AS MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO BUY A VAN GOGH POSTER I AM THINKING I WONT NOW, BECAUSE THEY ARE RUDE AND INSUFFERABLE – THEY KEEP TELLING ME TO PHONE BACK AND GIVE ME NUMBERS TO PHONE BACK ON THEN THEY ARE RUDE AND...
The great Ngurrara Canvas is one of the largest and most spectacular Aboriginal Western Desert paintings. It was painted by senior traditional owners of the Great Sandy Desert of northern Western Australia as an emotionally and politically charged expression of their links to their country, for...
Alex O'Loughlin is an actor. He was born in Canberra, Australia, and raised in Sydney; he graduated from that city's National Institute of Dramatic Art in 1992 and has subsequently received numerous awards, including The Australian Film Institute's "Best Lead Actor in Television" prize for his...
Like birds on the water. That’s how one survivor described the sight of over 300 bodies of fathers, mothers, and children, scattered over kilometres of ocean when the sun came up on October 20th 2001. These people, mostly refugees from Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, had travelled in some instance for...
yes he did sit with his back to the window - which was not bullet proof, and was often open for fresh air - so many missed chances.... Those two booths in the corners are indeed "cone of silence" sound proof booths for trading state secrets and general gossip. We often though Agent 86 was running...
some of them are a little masucline looking - well we know poor Margret Whitlam is but we love her all the more for that- I am sure that SOME of them must have been somewhat attractive? Notice Sonia McMahon (Billy McMahon/Liberal Party) was absent. Sonia (Julian's Mum) probably thought she was too...
Commemorative Courtyard In front of the Hall of Memory is the Pool of Reflection, crowned by the Eternal Flame. To left and right, at a mezzanine level, visitors can see stone cloisters, where dark, bronze panels of the Roll of Honour record the names of over 102,000 Australian servicemen and women...
The walls and dome of the hall are lined with one of the largest mosaics in the world, also the work of Waller, unveiled in 1959. The mosaic inside the dome depicts the souls of the dead rising from the earth towards their spiritual home, represented by a glowing sun within the Southern Cross. The...
I promise to post photos tomorrow, as rather tired tonight and will not do a good job explaining and describing. Day 2 we went to the Turner to Monet exhibition which was even more exciting and beautiful than I expected. Despite the crowds I did more than one circuit of the 5 exhibition rooms. The...
I thought the lap top was staying home but some urgent buisness deal with some African country came up for Mr Flamingo so lap top came along for the "holiday", We were in Canberra by 10.30 am after an 8.30 flight. We couldn't get into our room until 1pm so set off to see some sights. Headed to...
Flying to Canberra tomorrow morning and returning late Sunday. Mr Flamingo and I are going to pretend that we know something about art [well we know what we like] and are going to view the Turner to Monet exhibition at the National Gallery. We are staying here http://www.brassey.net.au/ and hope to...
I am feeling a little brighter today and less of a wind up toy duck. The word salad that spews from my mouth is also adjusting itself into some measure of a normal speech pattern. I may survive. Onward to Canberra [tomorrow, I'll see it tomorrow, just a day away - consider yourself lucky that was...
Some photos to share during my trip to Sydney and Canberra on Easter break, which was long long time ago. The New Parliament House situated in Capital Hill, Canberra. According to the brochure, the stainless steel flagpole is 81-metre high and the flag is measuring 12.8 by 6.4 metres, is...
When was the last time you drove out of town? Probably not since my road trip with my son to Canberra in January. See blog entry here. This is what I said then: What a great kids holiday destination Canberra is! Both my husband and I used to live in Canberra (it was where we met and fell in lerv)...
Today was the Olympic torch relay in Canberra. I must say that I have felt enormously conflicted about the whole event. I think the behaviour of the Chinese in Tibet is appalling - and admire the canniness of the Tibetans in ensuring that the whole situation has come to the attention of the world in...
