Questacon

Cecilia and I  went to Questacon . That was the science centre. There were masses of things to do. There were 8 galleries, all about different things and there was a theatre.

The first thing we saw was a marble ball that moved in water.

The next thing we saw was a sensor and you could play instruments on it .
The shape was a harp . It was fun to play on . 

The third thing we saw was a speaker.
We had to talk in a normal voice and we heard it high and low and fast.
Then we had to record it.

We went to the theatre for a talk about food.
CC tasted lemon then had a tablet and tasted it again.
This time it tasted like lemonade (Yummy!)
At the end we got blue tongues.

In the H2O gallery was saw the cycle of rain.

CC spent ages with the machine that sucked up scarves
and then they floated down again

The moving lights felt funny.

At this table the wind kept our helicopters in the air.

This was our tower just before it collapsed.

When we were leaving we danced with a statue.

Parliament House

I went on the discovery trail at Old Parliament House.  I saw the Magna Carta. I went on a super hero discovery trail

New Parliament House

I lay on the grass to take this photo.

The Royal Australian Mint

 I am at the Royal Australian Mint and I only got 20 minutes so don't blame me that this is short. First I saw a box of 2000 1$ coins and I learnt how they make it. Secondly I saw a robotic arm that picks up the money and drops it with the others.

Thirdly I made a one dollar coin. That is all.

Australian War Memorial Canberra

Today I went to the Canberra War Memorial and it was totally awesome. When I went there I saw the history of the ANZAC and other wars. I saw a video of a dogfight and it is by the guy who made The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings and it is about the Allies vs the Germans. The World War 1 tour has an auto guide tour where you have a device and tells you thing and projects on a wall.

A big boat, enough to fit about 13 people on it.

A big helicopter with a clay model inside.

Canberra

We are staying with Nana's friends at Queanbeyan. it is close to Canberra but in NSW

Gabrielle, Elizabeth and Cecilia are cooking a cake

Canberra is the capital of Australia. Sydney and Melbourne both wanted to be the capital so they made a separate city in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Canberra means Meeting Place. It is the place where our parliament meets. I am staying at Canberra for a few days because there are way too many things to do in one day.
