- Skywhale. This “little icon” is one of the true Canberran would appreciate. A Canberra icon. Patricia Piccinini, the artist was commissioned to create another companion – Skywhalepapa for the Skywhale recently. It will be launched in May 2020.
- Protea. One of my favourite flower of all even it’s not Australian flora.
- Canberra Bus Stop. Another Canberra icons. I have not seen anything like that (the bus stop shelter) around Australia until we relocated to Canberra.
- Iced Vovo. Typical Australian food snack. My kids love the icing on top. Makes a great afternoon tea companion.
- Koala with Protea. Australia iconic animal! Aren’t they the cutest? 🙂 Everyone loves and needs a bit of Koala in their lives! We extremely love and adore having them in down under.
- Bubble O’Bill.
Do you know fact:
* A brand of packaged ice cream currently in Australia and New Zealand.
* Its name a pun on an Old West figure Buffalo Bill, the ice cream resembles a cowboy, distinctive for having a gun all in place of a nose.
* There are 3 flavours of ice cream being used to form the details of a Bubble O’Bill ice cream. The strawberry 🍓 for the face, caramel lips and moustache details, and a chocolate hat, with a hole resembling a gunshot. The reserve of the ice cream is coated with a layer of milk chocolate.

- Belconnen Owl. An owl sculpture in Belconnen intersection. It has a weird “alternative name”. A customer told me that apparently the Southside Canberra is having their own owl sculpture too? Anyone knows more about this?
- Fairy Bread. Sliced white bread spread with butter or margarine and covered with sprinkles or “hundreds and thousands”, served at children’s parties in Australia and New Zealand.
