Canberra's Floriade - competition for the Carnival of Flowers ...
Canberra - 15 Sept - 14 Oct 2007.
Floriade is Australia’s premier spring festival and a world-class floral spectacular!
Over one million blooms create a stunning backdrop to a month long festival filled with music, cultural celebrations, artistic displays, entertainment and recreational activities.
Floriade runs for one exciting month from mid September to mid October and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. This vibrant festival presents an amazing and ever changing visual display that makes a single visit never enough.
Visitors who want the full experience of Floriade should take the time to visit a number of times to see the different flowers in bloom, enjoy the fabulous entertainment program and attend some of the great information seminars and workshops.

The city of Toowoomba is being battered to bits with a dry westerly winds and the gardens are failing and will not be worth looking at by the week-end.
There should not have been a Carnival of Flowers this year as we do not and never did have water to spare for watering annuals.
The visitors they are encouraging to visit at the week end will use more of our precious water.
Thorley is out there promoting a wine and food festival and the adds are running saying that the water being use on the gardens is not the drinking water for the people.
I would like to add that the struggling gardeners who are not in the competition would love to get their hands on some of that "other" free water.
