My Canberra Adventure

Instead of the dawn service at RMC that I was thinking of attending on Anzac Day, I slept in and went to the zoo with a friend and a couple of teenagers. I don't think there could have been a more perfect day for it. At the beginning, I was quite excited that there were animals out and about instead of hiding away but as we walked further into the zoo, more of them seemed to hide from us. The aquarium was similar in size to how I remember the reptile house at Melbourne zoo.  Beautiful cat. Emu in a ball gown? I don't think I'd ever thought about it but antlers grow back. Travel guides stayed at this zoo one episode and got me interested in doing the same. The accommodation is around $1600 per night and the animals (on the TV show anyway) are practically in your room. Thankfully, having now been to the zoo and seen the animals (plus guests bathrooms), I've lost interest in that. 😜

I've been to the National Film and Sound Archives a few times, for vinyl night and trivia with Eleanor but this time, I finally saw the Australian's in Hollywood Exhibition. I'm not sure if it is the same exhibition that was in Bendigo that I wanted to go to after seeing the Elvis Movie. Paul Hogan's Crocodile Dundee vest. Very impressive! When I looked at this I thought Nicole Kidman must be tall but tiny! Moulin Rouge. Loved the Can Can costumes - all different and interesting fabrics. Obviously!
