Another Superb morning

I went for another wander to the H C Coombs building in ANU this morning to see what the Superb Parrot situation was like.  (I wondered if it would be superber or more superb - but not having a linguist on hand this visit decided to avoid comparative forms.)

As I left the Manhattan I noticed a large exercise class going on in Glebe Park.
 Whether this is some community activity or a personal trainer with a huge following I have no idea.

Turning the corner I noticed these signs outside the Casino.  I feel sorry for the Casino as they would desperately like to run the Government (so they could introduce poker machines and rip off the citizens even more) but are currently at best 4th in line, after the Airport, Icon Water and the CFMEU. But well in front of the general citizenry.
 What struck me was the word "Gaming".  I'm sure that is used as carrying less negative baggage than is achieved by adding 'bl' to get "gambling".

On getting to my target area ...
.. I spotted this colourful Galah trying to create a hollow in a large eucalypt.
The first Superb Parrot seen was this juvenile taking a drink from a pool of water on top of an electricity substation.  I have rated it as a juvenile since Joe Forshaw says females have a yellow iris, as well as blue tinges on the head.
