Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra
We had a great time at the meal last night. It was very nice to finally meet some of the people that we have been corresponding with for so long about our Australian trip and put faces to the names.
This morning was clear, cool and sunny and we went to the market. We spent a couple of hours visiting many of the stalls, and managed to buy a couple of nice souvenirs of our trip. Then we walked along the lake in central Canberra towards the national art gallery, where we ate our lunch in the sculpture garden. There were many black swans swimming along the shore where children were feeding them bread. After that we toured around the gallery mostly looking at the Aboriginal art collection for a couple of hours.
We were surprised to see that it was raining out when Peter came and picked us up. We came back to our motorhome which is parked in their front yard and it continued to rain for much of the afternoon. It is quite cool, so we have the heat on inside.
