National gallery of Aust.




We drove to Canberra yesterday starting very early - 7am and stopped at Goulburn for a break. We arrived about 11 at the gallery but then it was a job to find a parking space. John always seems to be lucky and we found a parking bay, all day, behind the old Parliment House.

For 3 hours we took in the exhibition - Masterpieces From Paris which is on for 4 months at the National Gallery of Australia. www.nga.gov.au We liked most of the paintings and to see them from just 3 feet away was fantastic - Van Gough, Gauguin, Cezanne and lots more. We drove back through Collector (John wanted to see it) and disappointment, as it was just a general store and a pub,so lunch was on at Goulburn and then home after an over 500 km drive.
