We were allowed a slight lie-in today and so we set off at
08:00, making our way towards the Capital City of Australia – Canberra. Once
here we stopped at the big war memorial here and had a wander around for a
short while. After this we were driven around the town and our guide pointed
out all the buildings of interest and giving us all the background on the Ozzy
parliament and how the Capital came to be Canberra.
After lunch our guide took us on a guided tour of the new
Parliament House where he filled our heads with, yet more, information and history
facts.
This day trip was very informative and we learnt a lot in
such a small amount of time. However, I don’t think it really was anyone’s trip
highlight, with most people not being big fans of politicians (including the
lady in the group who used to work in politics!) Also, though we all know the
importance of a government and the big role it plays in our lives; it’s not
very exciting is it?!
From here we made our way to Sydney, stopping one last time
in Goulburn where we saw the biggest Big Thing yet – the Big Merino.
When in Sydney and checked in to our accommodation, we found
ourselves extremely tired and, so as not to complicate things, we just went
across the road and got a good old KFC for tea.
Then it was bedtime.
