Forecast: 12-17
Attained: 11-17


This time last year I was in Canberra on a Lib Studies trip, being a volatile bundle of differing emotions but having a good time for all that. :) Despite having wanted to go on one of these trips for years, I almost didn't go. I was only 3 weeks in at the new house, still grieving deeply for Mum and still working through the torturous process of settling her estate. Good times, good times. [mild sarcasm]
However, doing a roadtrip to somewhere completely different for a few days was just what I needed. I'm very glad I went, if only to realise that for the first time in years I was truly happy to come home. I certainly hadn't felt that way about the old place for a long, long while...

Some of my fav pics from the trip:


The foyer of the Pavilion Hotel (our group's accomodation). Real greenery, and the roof was canvas. Loved it!




"Still life with toilet paper..."
Inside the loos at the National Film and Sound Archive. Gorgeous Deco building.




Diamonds, by Neil Dawson. Awesome suspended statue outside the National Gallery of Australia.




Notice about not feeding the birds at the Australian National Botanic Gardens.




The library holy of holies, National Library of Australia [angelic choir], as viewed from inside a sculpture based on a bower bird's bower.



Detail of Leonard French's stained glass windows at the National Library of Australia.



T'riffic weekend. We packed in so much...! :)
