The Chifley On Northbourne Canberra

We decided to walk to Capital Hill from our motel which was a great idea to begin with but it wasn't too long before I was trailing behind, the heat getting the better of me! We finally got there and wandered around looking at the various displays. There ...

... lækker velkomstmiddag med både lam og oksekød og god vin. Resten af aftenen blev tilbragt med champagne og hyggesnak i familiens skød. Mia blev installeret i Ellens normale soveværelse ud mod gaden. Janne og Jørgen rykkede ind i underetagen, hvor vi ogsaa sov i 1987, da vi første gang kom til Australien.

... of the country was truly outstanding, and the permanent exhibits, despite the fact that some were being refurbished, were some of the best I've seen. They have interactive displays that really work. I've seen plenty of interactive museum exhibits that people don't actually want to interact with. At the NMA, they all sucked me in.
