I went to the Parliamentary Triangle today–a part of Canberra mostly occupied by Parliament House (=Parliament Hill), government offices, embassies and very expensive residential properties. Now that most of the trees have leaves and some are still in bloom, Canberra is getting nicer than it was in those cold rainy november (…umm…July) days. I felt as if I was cycling on a highway that had been built right through a park. Of course, highways wouldn’t have bike lanes.
