Canberra...the capital city of Australia. Did you know? that the site of Canberra was selected for the location of the nation's capital in 1908 as a compromise between rivals Sydney and Melbourne. Not surprising!!
In Clints word Canberra is full of pollies, old farts and chairs because both need somewhere to sit.
No...seriously there was a lot to see in Canberra, mainly the War memorial for us we were very interested in our world war histories. Its a huge place the war memorial and we didnt get to see it all even though we were there for the whole day. We will revisit for sure.
We took the kids to Questacon, Australia's National Science and Technology Centre, its a hands-on interactive science museum. They had an absolute ball here, they had floors and floors of different science and technology displays. Well worth the entry fee. They had giant animatronic dinosaurs that looked very life like to Isla. She was funny because the dinosaurs were behind a bar and when they roared she snared at them 'na na na na na' as if to say you cant get me. They had a threatening Tyrannosaurus, spiky spined Stegosaurus, and a motherly Maiasaura complete with her nest, they all sway and roar with pre-historic passion in Terrorsaurus. They had a room that made to look like a house and it imitated a earthquake, the kids were amazed!! It rocked and shook it only went for 3 mins and really gave you an idea of how much damage one could do in such a short time. Good for big kids too.
We went for a drive past 'The Lodge' but didnt see Ruddy. We took the kids to the Dinosuar Museum and they had an educational lesson on the different types.
We only stayed for 4 nights it was starting to get cold at night and Clint had tickets to Footy.
