A few weeks ago Catherine and Abi went to Canberra to attend the ANU College of Law 'Outlaws' Postgraduate Research Conference. Before we left we warned you, our kind readers, that blogging would be temporarily suspended and promised to include some photos that captured 'the essence' of Canberra (see post here). And here's a few to get you started...


We have recently discovered that this is the National Carillon (excellent photography by Catherine Bond).


Catherine was keen to get a new job at the High Court but was told by a security guard that the position of Chief Justice was not yet available (but he took her name for future reference - or possibly - to keep her out in the future).


Finally, as you can tell by the expression on Abi's face- Canberra can be downright joyful (despite the cold)!

If anybody feels that our photos do not truly reflect the essence of Canberra, Matthew Rimmer has kindly suggested the following places:

• The Telstra Tower
• National Museum of Canberra
• The Tuggeranong Hyperdome

After this post however we may not be allowed to leave the House of Commons for some time - so we hope that one day we will be able to visit these sites...
