FAMILY TRAVEL SPECIAL

There’s still time to take the family to check out this year’s Floriade in Canberra. Mum and dad will marvel at flower displays honouring Michael Jackson and Marilyn Monroe and the kids will think the beds dedicated to Grug, the Rubik’s Cube and Where’s Wally are cool. On the final day of Floriade, on October 14, the popular Dog’s Day Out is on again. This year will feature a superhero pop-culture dress-up theme. So bring the hound dressed as your/their fave celeb for a stroll along the roses!
