LiZ_in_Oz!!: canberra - floriade 2008

was a weekend trip to canberra... with jing, wanyi (my housemates), zijia (my upcoming housemate), giang (my vietnamese snr), shuwen and xunwen (who were visiting from sg)... this is the 2nd time i m heading thr.. but it's for a different reason... was gg thr for the floriade... was looking fwd to it cos love tulips... was rotating the driver's seat with wanyi.. so here's the photos i took along the wae when i m bored as the co-driver...

these are the "canberra trees" per jing.. haha.. cos we tend to see these trees in neat rows on the wae to canberra... hahaha...

upon reaching canberra, we saw these "cherry blossom" look-alike.. veri pretty!! but have no idea what these trees are... saw quite a lot of these trees juz as we entered canberra....

the group taking pix in front of our first stop - new parliment house.. n the iconic flagpole with 4 pillars...

some trees b4 the start of all the flowers pix... like pix of bare trees.. somehow feel tt they have a veri artistic feel.. hehe...

here's the start of the pretty flowers... was a bit disappointed though.. cos it's the first weekend of the floriade so the flowers were not all blooming... but still got some nice pix...

these were 2 little kids taking photos.. n the whole grp of us gals were snapping away like the kids were some superstars... but they were realli veri cute!!! cant help it... the younger brother is called nicholas n the older kid in red jacket is called douglas...

ben commented that this pix looks like a poster shot... hahah.. so proud of it!!

more flower pix... first time i took so much photos tt wanyi n zijia wanna confiscate my camera cos i was sooo slow... hahah... kept stopping to take pix.. heheh...

the focus of this pix is supposed to be the bare tree behind... but somehow it din manage to turn out like tt... the yellow tulips seem to be the focus pt instead... but still pretty photo i think... haha....
