Travels Down Under:
Exploring Canberra Downtown<\/FONT><\/B><\/p>\n

Saturday, April 23, 2011<\/I><\/B>

\n* Canberra<\/A> to Australia Capital Territory<\/A>, Australia<\/A> *
<\/B><\/p>\n

Sir Bluey<\/A> blessed Sir Thomas with a jam session with his amazing musical talents. Then the bard took Sir Thomas Leaf on a tour around the governmental district of Canberra<\/A>, as well as around the heart of the city center. The fall foliage was in abundant colors as the turn of fall into winter came about. They drove by the National Gallery of Art<\/A>, down the mall, and up to the Red Hill lookout<\/A> overlooking the city. Afterwards, Sir Bluey dropped Sir Thomas Leaf at the Canberra YHA<\/A> where he checked in to start out a night of partying. A swim and sauna down below, and unpacking of bags up in the room, Sir Thomas Leaf wandered down the city center to explore the sights. Much was closed for a Saturday. But it was just after Easter weekend. He then went to explore the Canberra Museum and Gallery<\/A> to view over much modern art. A delicious lunch was had at the Asian Cafe<\/A>. On to the Nolan Collection<\/A> at the Canberra Modern Art Gallery to see the latest of his art. Sir Thomas then went on to view the Sculptures of Michael Le Grand<\/A>. He learned about the Cotter and the watering of the City of Gardens<\/A>. That evening he partook of a soft shelled crab dinner with sweet potato fries at the Fish Shack<\/A>. After which he caught up on Hollywood’s most modern version of Ragnarok, by watching “Thor<\/A>” in 3d. After an amazing movie, he was off to check out the nightlife at Club 32<\/A>, and was bored. Hopping to the Phoenix<\/A> for a drink, and then off to see the band the Holidays<\/A> at the Underground bar<\/A> underneath the Canberra YHA. Good indie music, but fatigue took him on, and off he went to sleep. <\/p>\n
