We went to Canberra last week. I initially went down to do a reccy on the Fash and Treasure market as was I considering to start selling there. I am sitting on the fence about it now. Maybe, maybe not. Its quite a long trip. Lots of wide open country and roadkill. I swear I saw I wild boar - dead.

Never say never. Its a good market, has a up beat vibe to it. I bought a jacket off a young girl for $10, not vintage dahhhling. It is Chanel inspired stripe with gold buttons. I watched Coco Avant Chanel the other day so I am now in a Chanel mood. I liked the movie very much BTW but she annoyed with her frozen expression.

Anyway we stopped at Goulburn for a caff. This is what greets visitors to Goulburn. A big sheep. I had a pastie at the "bakery". Dreadful. No one can can do pasties in NSW. Very disappointing.

Our first stop in Can Berra was the war memorial which was very good, as good as you can say war gets that is. It was different from my memories from when I was a child visiting there. Not so drab.Very friendly staff. In fact everyone was polite and helpful in Canberra, we even noticed the kids skating around the city centre were considerate.

We had time to go to the National Gallery which was quite wonderful. The Australian art section is great.
Amongst all the Picasso's and Rupert Bunnys, the most amazing thing that took my breath away was the Fiona Hall Paradisus terrestris. I rounded the corner and BAM! Unforgettable.

All in all a good quick trip.
