I‘ve made it to the ACT! Taxi driver monologued about how much he hated Melbourne on the drive to the hotel (happily a short drive). Gonna leave my little stress ball travelling companion and go and see the Pompeii exhibition.
LeahBergen That sounds fun! 2w
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @LeahBergen, it‘s a really nicely put together exhibition. It‘s set up like you are walking through the centre of town- with projections of people going about their day along the walls (that look like buildings). Have been admiring the frescoes. 2w
CarolynM Lots of great spots in Canberra these days. Enjoy! 2w

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, I came for the Ethel Carrick exhibition - and now I‘m waiting for the train to Sydney. 2w
CarolynM I‘ll be in Sydney next week. Let me know if you find any hidden gems 🙂 2w
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, unfortunately I‘m a bit aimless. Today I‘ve been to Ken Done‘s Gallery, the Dymocks on George St and Abbey‘s Bookshop (and straight up the stairs to Galaxy), had a walk through the Queen Victoria Building. Been a bit underwhelmed with veggie options at cafes - they all seem to be offering avocado bruschetta… which was fun when I had it in Canberra the other day but now I‘m ready for something else. 2w
CarolynM There‘s usually something good at the Library. Try Newtown for more Melbourne-like cafes. 2w
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CarolynM, don‘t think I found any hidden gems but I did have a good time walking through Newtown (there is a bookstore called Better Read Than Dead) and Marrickville (bought the cutest cooler months dress from Made590). I found The Ferry hanging in the art gallery too (my favourite E. Phillips Fox painting from when I was a kid). Hope you have a lovely trip! 1w
