Here’s another low-key national capital event for our Head of State’s 70th anniversary in the job. The National Capital Exhibition is presenting “The Queen and Me”, an exhibition celebrating the many people in the crowds on her (many) visits to Canberra. The idea is to paint a picture about what interactions with QEII have meant to the residents of the capital through personal stories, treasured family photographs and momentoes of the day. Runs from 2 June to 31 December 2022 9am to 5pm but it’s hard to find and even harder to access just before Commonwealth Avenue Bridge heads south over the lake at Regatta Point.
