Happy #canberraday and hoping it is cool and dry enough for everyone to enjoy.
I was wondering who remembers the old #Birdman Rallies? Better still anyone who was once an intrepid Birdman?
It was the highlight of the day for my kids every year. So many ingenious inventions. 😄

I've left out some snacks for the Canberra Reindeers when Canberra Claus comes visiting this evening.

Hopefully lots of good things will come to all the nice Canberrans, and all the naughty ones will have learnt their lesson.

I missed the announcement but according to the ABC's Insta one of the election promises was a return of the #birdman rally as part of #canberraday celebrations.

BRB, just setting up my chair at the lake.

Outing to Queanbo* is now on today's schedule, yay! It's a public holiday here and we need some new picnic gear for this arvo's #CanberraDay picnic in Commonwealth Park with a bunch of old friends. I've made a shitake/porcini mushroom dip with port and thyme, which we'll have with crudités, and there's lots of other delicious things coming with the others. 🥳🥂
