It’s been a good week. I won a $50 gift voucher from Elite Meats Canberra
Radio station 2CC (Capital Radio Talking Canberra) has been running a “best of Canberra” competition for the last few weeks. This Tuesday they ran a “best public art in Canberra” competition. I nominated The Owl Statue on the T-Junction of Benjamin Way and Belconnen Way at Google Maps
I have posted to instagram numerous images of the Owl Statue
He is meant to be a Powerful owl and the connection with Canberra relates to the collective noun for owls, viz., a parliament of owls which fits given Australia’s parliament meets in Canberra.
Thank you 2CC and Elite Meats Canberra

where did you get the lindt macaron from in la berra?! I’d kill for a decent salted caramel macaron, I’ve been so disappointed with the ones I’ve had since moving here…
I didn’t. Someone bought it in Melbourne and brought it up for me.
It was so good.
I really really want a coffee machine – I’ve got the syrup already. I want to make my own skinny caramel latte
This cost me AUD$80. Not a bad price.
Yes there was spike Barb
The salmon and caper quiche…looks like something I need to try one day! Loved the desserts! Looks like you have eaten a lot of chicken and salad! Spike it?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Not the Owl Statue!!!!!!!! LOL. I still don’t understand that, but saying that… i’m not a big fan of art. Give me food over art any day! hehe. Well done for your win.
Thanks. I look forward to eating some steak.
Surely one owl indicates a failed parliament.
What I didn’t mention was that Mr Owl had to be taken away for about six months for a respray at one stage.
The owl statue looks quite majestic…and the food you post is always tempting.
Thank you
Congratulations! How cool of a win!
Love the owl shots. Wow, it looks as though it is amazing in size! Lake Ginninderra is very beautiful and calming.
Your food looks incredible. Now to my favorite.., chocolate covered ginger!! Also my morning tea and the chocolate noodle spider.., yummy!!!
My Mum loves chocolate covered ginger and as a young boy I grew to love it. It’s amongst my favourite things.
The chocolate noodle spider is a favourite of a friend at work. She’s a real star.
