Sojourn in Canberra 26th - 31st January 2017

We flew by Virgin to Canberra for Glenda to attend Ausglass Conference 2017.
Our stay at  Rydges was comfortable, relaxing and great value.
The weather was hot. I set myself the objective of a 7km walk to the 
Australian War Memorial. The distance was walked in 2 hours with
frequent stops for water and to take photographs.
Three groups of birds were engaging and a triathalon was in progress
around Lake Burley Griffin.

I've reworked this Gif:
Natures comedy - A Takeaway stand-off.

Whoops!! misinformed on the name of these birds. 
It seems they are 'White-winged Chough'.

 I made the flight from Adelaide to Perth specifically to attend the opening of the exhibition
 'The Afronauts', and was not then aware Cristina was attending and also presenting an artist's talk.
 I am more than pleased that I did and the photograph is the icing on the cake.
A wonderful exhibition. Thankyou Cristina and PCP.
