Canberra

We're spending the long weekend (Queens birthday on Monday) in Canberra. We've only been here for a day but what we've seen so far of the city is pretty different from the other major cities here. It's a lot smaller and seem very quiet without loads of tourists, skyscrapers and traffic. Being the capital, it has a lot of national museums and galleries. We spent today visiting the War Memorial which was really good, the National Gallery of Australia and walking on the lovely walkways around the lake seeing the International Flag display and the High Court. It's pretty chilly here with -5 C at night, but with a lovely sun and +12 C during the day we get buy with our summer coats!
