Sights of Canberra


We visited the National Museum. It is excellent…along the lines of the Museum of Civilization in Ottawa! It’s focus is “the Australian identity”. It’s not all about Rugby, Marmite and Walkabouts…

The following is a ridiculous statement: There was a lot of great art at the National Gallery. Pollock, Monet, Warhol, and of course, Sidney Nolan’s series on Ned Kelly…Australia’s famous outlaw. More about him later!

The entrance of the gallery.


…considering an aluminum (pronounced “aloo-min-ee-um” here) sculpture in the Gallery’s gardens.
