The 2006 theme - Floriade Carnivale, The World on Show, bursts into bloom from 16 September to 15 October with an international flare and should not be missed.
During Floriade 2006, Canberra played host to the first World Tulip Summit
ever to be held in the southern hemisphere. The countries that hold major
tulip and flower festivals around the world have inspired the 2006 flowerbed
design.
Floriade 2006 provides a month long celebration with a huge range of
activities surrounding the International Village. Look forward to culturally
diverse and entertaining concerts, fun and activities.
As part of Floriade, the Embassy of Spain hosted a 100 metre themed garden, together with Spanish sculpture.

On 18 October 2006, the Australian Spanish Business Association (ASBA) Galicia, Spain, will be celebrating the 160th anniversary of the Founding of New Norcia in Western Australia.
The Ambassador of Australia to Spain, His Excellency Mr Noel Campbell unveiled a plaque in the botanic gardens of the Galician palace of Marinan in La Corunna in commemoration to the splendid work done by the Spanish founder of this mission and the years he dedicated to the education of the Aborigine people of Western Australia.
The founder Dom Rosendo Salvado is also famous for the repopulation of the forests of the north-western part of Spain with the ever popular Australian Eucalypt.
For this occasion, the University of La Corunna will, at the same time, be holding an International Congress. A Call for Papers has been answered by many International academics who will be attending the Congress and the ceremony of the unveiling of the plaque with local dignitaries in attendance will be quite distinctive.
