This afternoon another highlight of our Tour –  Canberra Floriade at Commonwealth Park, wander the paths meandering around the garden beds, browse the Traders Village and have a bite to eat for lunch, take your time, enjoy music on the live stage and take a ride on the Ferris Wheel…a must do , as you can only see the patterns of the plantings from above. We will meet back at the gate at 3.30pm. Swap stories over happy hour back at the Diplomat before a 2 course dinner.

We will start our day with a view over all of Canberra at the Telstra Tower and enjoy a coffee perhaps whilst looking at the Landmarks all around us. Next up we will enjoy a drive around the National Arboretum and visualize what it will look like in the future as a catalogue of many of the Worlds Trees … Then for an afternoon visit to the Australian War Memorial, where you can wander the displays, research someone you may know on the Wall of Remembrance and have lunch in one of the cafés, at 4.50pm we will meet at the pond of reflection for the sounding of the last post. A sobering afternoon but amazing insight into any of the Wars. Then back to the Diplomat for our final night.
