Australia’s greatest capital of Australia’s greatest capital
territory.
Your Australian
Capital - The City of Canberra
Canberra is a city
of 300,000 people most of which work directly or directly for the Federal
Government which, as we know, works for all Australians. So if you are
Australian, you own this place, you are the boss. Here are some bossy
things to do.
Parliament House
Canberra
The main attraction
is the work house (Parliament House) where your representatives slave
away making up rules and talking a lot. The original cost of Parliament
House was $1.1 billion. For that you get great views / photos from the
top of the building of Canberra without Parliament House in them. There
are also paintings, marble, comfy chairs and the occasional 'pollie' on
a mobile phone.
Parliament Casino?
A thing to do whilst
in parliament is to think up ways in which we can get a return on your
investment. Selling it to the Chinese or a Parliament Casino are two popular
options. Don’t forget to let someone know of your idea before you
leave. Times are tough, it might happen.
The Questacon or
National Science and Technology Centre
The Questacon or
National Science and Technology Centre is particularly great for kids,
adults and everybody in between. Very interactive and engaging. You have
to try a few things rather than stand back and watch. It will be fun.

Having travelled
as far as Canberra you could keep going south for the snow. The Ski Slopes
of Perisher Valley and Thredbo are not far away. The Ski Season runs from
