National Gallery, Queen Victoria Gardens, and Kings Domain

Thursday was touring day. We went to the National Gallery (for the shop, the main exhibit was kinda creepy large naked realitisic statues) and enjoyed their waterfall.


We then wondered through Queen Victoria Gardens, where we saw the Government House. It is a copy of Queen Victoria's palace on England's Isle of Wight and was built in 1872. It was the home of the Victorian Governer and now you can tour it.
Of course, wandering through the gardens, we ran across a memorial honoring the brave island of Malta! It was rather funny to see something on Malta all the way in Australia, but we certainly enjoyed seeing it and remembering our holiday there last May.

If you haven't already, go to Malta.
