Day 21

24/4/14

Canberra to Canberra 

Hi guys, my name is Tim
Today we got up and Into the car and headed to Mt Stromlo observatory which was destroyedin the 2003 fires. After we explored Mt Stromlo we went to the Royal Australian Mint were we had a tour. On the tour we were told about the history of coins and currency in Australia. After the tour we watched a short video on the workings of the Mint. When we had bought our souviners we drove to the War Memorial and had a look around, I joined a tour that was almost finished and got some useless (maybe) but interesting information. After the information boost we went had lunch, when Sarah had finished her pie we headed back inside and explored the main building and went through the wars that Australia had participated in. Wandering through the Memorial affected Dad more than he would care to admit. When the Memorial was explored we got into the car and went to a geysers that we saw at Parliment House yesterday. Turns out that the geyser thing was a memorial to Captian Cook. Here's the most exciting thing that happened all day: Mum doing a cartwheel!!
