Canberra school camp... more awesome than expected!

Despite  the twins and myself coming down with colds/flu/stomach bugs the day we arrived back in Townsville, I'm pleased to say Canberra was awesome!

Found craft & colour inspiration in the most unlikely of places...
Parliament house was pretty cool, loved the colour graduation in the public galleries of The Senate & House of Representatives.



The huge Tapestry inside the great hall was impressive.


 Mt. Ainslie, looking down from above the War Memorial toward Capital Hill.


The War memorial & amazing Lead lights & Mosaics inside the unknown soldiers tomb.



Coolness indeed!


The AIS pool where the Australian Olympians train.



Got to catch up with family, including my dad & a nephew I'd never met.


Somehow wrangled the night off on Friday and nip into Civic...
Shop Handmade, but no Posie Patchwork in sight, she was on Holidays in Queensland :)



And finally a day trip to Thredbo.

Phew, now off to heat up the wheat bag & make a cup of honey & lemon tea.

Thanks Canberra we had a great time on school camp :)
