I have to say I thought it would be, (boring that is) but visitors to our fair town talked me into spending the afternoon at Floriade this year. There really is plenty to see and do, and if you are like me and can't go without a good cup of coffee for 5 minutes, there are plenty of good places... More

Pretty flowers, interesting concessions with good foodstuffs and fun gardening tools and accessories. When tour groups of elderly people and tourists go through, some locals call it "green hell".

I went over the September long weekend. the weather was glorious. I was very lucky. the flowers are very pretty, and arranged in patterns. although I must say i notice... More

I was very excited to attend Nightfest this year as a recent resident to Canberra. I even planned to go on two or more nights. The comedy tent was a joke (my camping tent is larger), the food was insubstantial and terrible, and no chairs were provided for the main stage. For a free event this may be acceptable, but... More
