Had a good time just wandering around and looking at things.  Barely spent any money.  I did buy five daffodil bulbs.  And a Moove (the mobile Moove man kinda convinced me).  And a hot dog and fairy floss for dinner.  Quite annoyed that you can't buy fresh fairy floss anymore, you have to buy it in a plastic bag :(

Took 383 photos.. here's just a few of them :)

Ferris Wheel and tower from the car park.  The walk back to the car felt like a lot lot longer than the walk from the car!

Working steam engine

These guys look a bit like our next door neighbour's goat

Goats have really freaky eyes..!

This was one massive pig!  The area smelt like pork (before roasting) .. can't imagine why!

Ferris Wheel (would have been nice to go up - maybe next time)

Rides

Kitty with a moustache.  We were trying to take pictures through the bars and the dude came along and opened the cage for us :)

I so want one of these!  This thing (apart from the way cool little house around it) has a tv and dvd/cd player built in!!  Andrew said all we need is water-proof wii-motes for spa-wii-ing :)

I always like the cake decorating.  This ship was my favorite

Icing flowers are amazing!

This was straight out of the Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake book..! Lame!! Especially since it won a prize

Back to the pigs.  Noticed this time that all the piglets' tails were docked :(

Camel race

They race to a bucket of food at the end of the track

This kid looked as if she owned the place.  She was in everyone's way of the view, so we couldn't help but laugh when she later fell off trying to get on or off.

They were running about 45 minutes late and we had to go, but the Hiluxes started up as we were half way round the track)

Flying Hilux!

I think this is a Sumatran Tiger

Lions

Stu got some cool pics of the Red Pandas, I should upload one of his..

This Red Browed Firetail was having a bath in the Red Panda enclosure

The servals were very cool

The Pygmy Marmosets were so cute

Some sort of Iguana..

Meerkat!

Didn't catch the name of this thing..

I think this is a Golden Lion Tamarin (I could be wrong)

Too many people around to get any closer to these guys

Look at the tongue!

A moth..

Sunbeams..

Not a photo, but proof that the previous owners of this place must have watered their garden - a lot..

Here's a couple of cool Christmas presents I got..

A Spa Bar!!!  Have wanted something like this since we got the pool - way cool!!

A Princess Peach Racer!!  (I always race with Peach, and using this cart too :) )

And some cool bars of chocolate we saw in the shops today..

But anyways.  This was the sky this evening.  Pretty, huh?

Sunday we decided to go to Tidbinbilla, as they were interested in seeing some kangaroos up close.  So off we went.

The funniest thing I didn't get a photo of was an emu being chased by an angry masked lapwing plover :)

Welcome Swallows

Various emus

Various kangaroos

A magpie

Through a gate

Some sort of ant

And then we left.  Could have spent longer there, but they needed to drive 450km.  So just had lunch in Belconnen and off they went.

Some carrots Stu grew in the garden

And how they looked when he cooked them

Fresias in the front yard

Sunrise one morning last week

Another day, another sunrise

Completed Fish & Chips jigsaw - evil!

Mr Fixit!  Me little brother stayed last night and fixed a bunch of things around the house.  Have I ever mentioned he rocks? :)

I've never been before so I didn't know what to expect.  I imagined more of a light show, with flowers being light up by coloured lights or fairy lights or something.  So in that sense I was a little disappointed, as there wasn't really much of that.  But there were some pretty things and we ended up staying til after 10pm.  

Of course the first problem was getting in.  The tickets said 6:30pm, so that's when we arrived.  As did everyone else who had a ticket.  So all these people started crowding around and it was all a bit unorganised cause people didn't know if there were two different queues for people with or without tickets or what.  Took about twenty minutes to get through the gates.  I think if we were going to do it again we'd turn up at 7pm and be done with it.  But don't really think it was worth the $20 to do it again.

More photos after the jump...
