Lake Burley Griffin in Autumn

Some cities in the Australia and New Zealand seem to miss out on autumn entirely. Usually due to the lack of deciduous trees. Canberra isn't one of them. Most of the plantings in the city itself are 100% intentional, and many exotic trees make for an interesting display at this time of year.

Yesterday morning I went for a walk along the lakeside, through Acton and Commonwealth parks. It is a walk I enjoy each time I visit Canberra, with a great deal of little things to discover; in particular plantings by famous visitors over the years.
