FLORIADE : REIMAGINED AND THE NATIONAL WAR MEMORIAL

Following breakfast, we’re off to experience Floriade: Reimagined. The flowers that would have been in Commonwealth Park as part of the annual Floriade Festival have been distributed around Canberra so visitors can still enjoy the vibrancy of Floriade. To extend the celebration of Floriade: Reimagined in Canberra, community organisations were able to apply and receive an allocation of bulbs and annuals to plant and grow. So there’s going to be no shortage of Spring colour! Lunch is at our own expense today. This afternoon we have time to visit the National Gallery and Portrait Gallery before visiting the National War Memorial.

Lunch at own expense and arrangement OVERNIGHT: The Canberra Rex Hotel, CANBERRA
