Floriade 2024 in Canberra

 We went  to the annual Floriade spring festival on my birthday last Tuesday for the 37th anniversary of Floriade. The weather was perfect  and it wasn’t too busy as we went very early for it opening. Every year Commonwealth Park near the Australian parliament, hosts a spring flower festival which attracts  people from all over the world as well as locals 

I took a few photos of our morning visit to share  online. However I don’t think the flower displays are as big as they used to be, which is a big upkeep really. And there is a definite reduction in the stalls compared with how it was originally. Still it was a lovely morning outing and a beautiful view of Lake Burleigh Griffin.
