Canberra in January






Traditionally, well a couple of times, we have travelled to canberra in Jan. Richard wanted to check a couple of things for the yr 10 excursion in May and hell we all like to get away. This time I got a suite which is pleasantly spacious, larger than our flat I suspect. We looked at the War Memorial, the National Museum, the Museum of Democracy and the Zoo.
First the war memorial. Saw the revamped Hall of Valour which was good but might get a bit packed in the peak periods and enjoyed some of the rearranged exhibitions.Saw a memorial outside to Dads mob, water transport. The red anchor on a purple background is something I grew up with as Dad used his army greatcoat for years. The cafe has been rebuilt as well and looks good.
