Vintage Canberra

It’s springtime in Australia! Here’s an image of the season in Canberra in the past.

It’s Spring!

It’s spring in Canberra! Here are two woman in Canberra of old, walking up a hill among spring blossoms, with a 1930s Vauxhall behind them.

The picture was taken by Frank Hurley.

From the collection of the National Library of Australia, Canberra.

Canberra Sunset

The sky in Canberra on Friday evening last week.

Bottlebrush and Friarbirds!

You know summer is on the way when the noisy friarbirds reappear in the garden! They are such funny-looking birds, but their calls are so weird they’re cute. They’re constantly chatting to each other.

This Bird!

I know young birds are supposed to be scruffy, but this is ridiculous! This poor currawong turned up in my garden recently, and is getting picked on by the bigger, older birds.

Sunday Evening in Canberra

Halloween in Canberra

With the temperatures in the thirties, it’s going to be an indoor Halloween in Canberra this evening. It’s too sunny and hot outside! (And there have been bushfires burning around here all day.)

We don’t have time for much this year, because we’re packing to travel to China at the end of the week.

Friday in Canberra

The construction site in the middle of Canberra’s CBD – what used to be the car park for the Canberra Theatre Centre! There’s so much construction going on here that there’s no longer parking anywhere!

And then just a random shot of the sky this afternoon. It was a gorgeous day. Warm, with bright blue skies.
