Tulip Tops

After a few rest days for the grandies (the girls were at childcare Monday and Tuesday), we decided to continue the theme spring and flowers and head out to Tulip Tops. Located just off the Hume highway about 30 mins north of Canberra, this little privately run garden boasts a hidden valley of lush green grass, numerous blossom trees and weeping willows and thousands of tulips.






It was amazing to see the photograph records of the growth of this place from bare paddocks to today's spectacular display. However with the $12 entry fee per adult, it didn't really live up to expectations especially when compared to Floriade which is free, much larger and loads more kid type activities. We did leisurely strolled through the park, taking photos, climb up to the lookout, then back down to have morning tea which took approximately 90mins.


Once again Ella commandeered the camera. Katy also joined in with Ella teaching her what to do. As you can imagine this sharing of the camera didn't always go smoothly.
