Meeting new Australian Friends in Commonwealth Park Canberra

We travelled to Canberra city centre by bus but we were concerned as there was to be a big election vote to take place on Capitol Hill on Monday and thought it would be very busy. We decided to walk from the city centre to the Commonwealth Park where we were going to visit the portrait gallery. It was a hot 80 plus degrees and we have found out that very few people walk to places they all go by air conditioned car. However if we had gone by car we would not of experienced the magic meeting we had with two new oz friends. As we crossed the park we came to a shelter and there they were studying. I had always seen Australian people as large in statue I suppose this was because of their rugby players

.These people  were so broad Oz we could not understand a word they said but this did not stop us having a memorable moment that we all shared together and will stay with us forever. Photos follow.
