2021-December trip to Canberra

We went away to visit Tom, Kasey and Leo to see their new baby Fox. Lucky the trip went without a hitch, no contagion.

Here we are in Kingston, which is a really nice spot, not far from where we were staying.

The Historic Kingston Power House which is the home of the Canberra Glassworks.
We had some breakfast with the family, then wandered to the foreshore to check out glass being made.
IN the arfternoon, we wandered along the lake. Here we are at the National Rose Gardens. Not bad.
Oli did a fast lap of the place.
Oli at the old Parliament House.
At the time there was a cartoon exhibition, never complimentary on how the country is being run. I think the boys liked them.
Which was a life saver, as the chambers of the house were not a hit. 
This place was always meant to be a temporary home of Parliament. In my opinion, it's a total waste of a building, but our leaders with their snouts ever in the trough would like a much bigger more luxurious place. It would say a lot if they just economised and made use of this place.
Plenty of interesting old machines on display. Oli showing his favourite finger, nice work, almost got a photo without.
On the way back.
Leo, Tom, Kasey and lastly Fox.
