A girls night out

Last week I took Jacinta and her daughter Isabella into the city to see Nutcracker On Ice. It was a treat for Isabella's birthday.

Jacinta decided that we would cut to the chase and have dinner at the Lindt Cafe in Collins Street. Waffles with vanilla bean ice cream and chocolate sauce. Yum!

Walking across the river and passing the recently renovated and reopened Hamer Hall, we found this tribute to Dame Edna Everage in the small garden next to the State theatre. Anyone who know the alter ego of Barry Humphrey's will understand the significance of the 8 metre high bunch of ceramic flowers!

Isabella pronounced the night a huge success, especially as we were in the front row and she caught a piece of ice from a flying skate! Jacinta was very impressed with some of the John Olsen art work that graces the State Theatre.

And who could forget the display of Dame Edna's outfits in the foyer either.
