We took advantage of the October 6 Labor Day holiday to visit Canberra and see for ourselves their famed Floriade Festival.
We hopped on a Chinese tour bus, which turned out to be a bad idea because we were the only pinoys in the group and the tour guide spoke in Mandarin 90% of the time... :)
First stop was the Cockington Gardens where one is treated to an international display of miniature houses. Of course, the Philippines was well-represented...
Pinas' very own Maranao House
Nex stop was the Australian Mint where the Australian coins are made. You can actually make your own coin here with your name on it. But when we visited, the machine conked out.
The treasure-chest :)
We then moved to the main reason of our trip here...the Floriade Festival. I have never seen so many tulips in my entire life!
Tulips in all colors
Final stop was the Australian Parliament House where the senators and the house of congress hold their sessions.
