A lovely park quite close to me that I haven't explored before. It was a rather rainy day, but good to be out in the fresh air.

Hyde Park and War Memorial
I planned to visit The Australian Museum but got sidetracked in Hyde Park and its adjacent war memorial. Several hours later, I arrived at the museum to find it was closed for renovations. Obviously my enjoyable diversion was meant to be!
The beautiful trees in Hyde Park
The War Memorial
I found this incredibly moving. The museum had letters and cards that the soldiers sent home, with exquisite sentiments expressed, and then very often there was a footnote to say the soldier had died during a later battle. Heart-wrenching stuff but somehow profound and beautiful too. So important to express our love, and not just during war.
