Canberra Turns 100

We consider ourselves to be very fortunate to be in Canberra for its centennial year (2013). Although there are many events planned throughout the year to celebrate, the larger events were held in March (as March 11 was the 'official' birthday).

Included in the festivities on this day were various musical and artistic performances down by the lake, what was said to be the world's longest bubbly bar, and an impressive fireworks display.

As we were living in our apartment in the city center at that time, we were able to watch the fireworks from the roof top of our building. It was a pretty cool experience, but we unfortunately didn't have our cameras with us.  That's ok though - as you'll see from our next post, the following weekend was 'Skyfire', and we were able to take lots of pictures of the fireworks that night!
