Day 1 saw us visit Questacon, which was a fantastic, hands on science experience for the kids. Highly recommended! Best part of the visit was definitely the free fall slide which everyone (but me!) was brave enough to have a turn.
Day 2 we headed to Cockington Green. Lots of fun for the kids - so much work has gone into each of the displays.
Next stop the Dinosaur Museum.
Small rest at lunchtime, then spent the afternoon at the War Memorial. What an amazing place, so moving. Both kids really enjoyed the experience here, especially Luke. We were there for the closing ceremony, hearing the Last Post played.
Day 3 we headed in the (very) chilly weather to Parliament House. No sittings, so had a wander around and stopped in the cafe for morning tea. We went outside briefly for some photos, but it was so icy!
Our next stop was the Mint. Kids very excited to watch their own coin be minted - although think we were slightly ripped off since a $1 coin cost us $3!!
Our friends headed home after that, and we headed up to Black Mountain Tower. Rode the lift up for a great view over Canberra. Again, too cold to stay out on the viewing deck for long!
We didn't get to see all of the War Memorial the previous day and Luke was so keen to head back there, so we went back for a second visit. Glad we did - we came across the kids section, which had some great stuff for them to experience! A helicopter, trench, submarine, uniforms to try on etc. I think we could have spent another whole day there!!
A really great trip!
