Day One – Canberra
After a long drive from Melbourne, we finally arrived in Canberra, Australia’s capital city. I expected it to be boring, full of stale government employees with nothing really to do. Well, to a certain extent this is true, but I really enjoyed looking around Parliament House. Kevin Rudd (Australia’s Prime Minister) wasn’t in today, but we had a look around the House of Representatives.
We also went to the amazing National Gallery of Australia, where we saw a mixture of classical and explicit art. We followed this by a visit to the War Memorial, and a trip up the Telstra Tower, viewing the rest of Canberra from above.
Day Two – Katoomba
It’s been a long day. The drive from Canberra to Katoomba was a killer. But we managed to arrive in the Blue Mountains, and have spent some time looking around the amazing scenery – the Three Sisters rock formation is particularly stunning.
We are staying at Becky’s friend Sarah’s house. So we went with her to the local pub, and managed to come second in the pub quiz.
