Canberra: the Capital City

So Canberra had potential to be awesome and parts of it were but unfortunatly we all decided to study for our mid terms coming up instead of going out and exploring the city. Paige and I did make a few friends in our short time there. The wonderful Nate and Jake, friendly desk workers at the Canberra YHA. We had fun standing at the desk talking to them until their shifts ended. Also YAY first Aussie facebook friends.

But Canberra was not all studying we went to museums and the War Memorial and Museum.  Needless to say it was a great few days of reacquainting with the group after our break.

Unfortunately I was a bit of an anti shutter bug so I have almost no pictures from Canberra but here are a few I managed to snap while out and about (please note: "out and about" is always said with a Canadian accent).

Parliament! This is the House (the part that the government is formed out of).
Yes I did learn something here.
