Arboretum Inside and Out by onewing

Arboretum Inside and Out

Our last stop in Canberra before returning home was to The Arboretum.

I loved the children's climbing frame in the shape of two acorns.

The ceiling at the Visitors Centre was spectacular too and I will post a couple more photos of the ceiling over the next two days.

Another busy day today. Medical appointment this morning and blood tests show everything is going in the right direction and after a B12 injection in one arm and an iron injection in the other I should be feeling more lively again soon.

We were at a U3A event this afternoon too so I am looking forward to a quiet evening because it is still pretty hot here.
It is a sweet playground hey?

@agima @kwind @ludwigsdiana @rookynook @bella_ss @jacqbb @sangwann @yentlski @louannwarren @lesip @henrir @mittens @merrelyn @bkbinthecity @angelar @mandygravil @carolmw @craftymeg @gamelee @happypat @pcoulson @jgpittenger @seattlite @pyrrhula @radiogirl Thanks. It was lovely to see the trees growing again. The arboretum was created after the 2003 Canberra bushfire when all the pine forest in this area was flattened by the firestorm. The acorn climbing frame is quite symbolic I think. From little things big things grow.

@happysnaps It is an interesting place to visit.

@beryl Thanks Beryl, the acorns are quite safe they are anchored down by thick steel girders
@gigiflower This area has definitely changed it used to be pine forest until the 2003 bushfire and the arboretum has been created after that devastation. We were in Canberra not long after the 2003 fire and it was so sad to see. The firestorm was so fierce the trees were just flattened on the ground

@cruiser Thanks Chris, it is a lovely place to visit and a joy to see the trees growing again in this area after the bushfire.

@casablanca Thanks. I went up the Telstra Tower too and I have quite a tale to tell about that day but daren't tell it on here, ha ha. Every time I see the tower it makes me smile. Just goes to show you can't take me anywhere I cause a disturbance wherever I go.

You obviously had a wonderful time in Canberra, it's a great place to visit. I spent quite a lot of time at ANU over the years.
