Obviously spending too much time on the web - this excerpt from a story on the ABC website struck me as very, very funny. Who says Canberra doesn't know how to show someone a good time?
quote: Gary Rake from the National Capital Authority says parts of Canberra will have a distinctly American feel to mark the president's visit.
"We'll be lighting the
Kings Avenue tunnel in red white and blue and rather than the striped colour
arrangement that we had for her majesty's recent visit this time we'll be
lighting the entire hand rail in a single colour," he said.
"The tunnel will be blue for
30 seconds, white for 30 seconds and red for 30 seconds. It'll cycle through
the colours." end quote
Well, I hope the president appreciates the effort.
