The National Museum of Australia

Alarm set: 5.30am

6.45am ready to go! -The car packed

Canberra Im on my way (:

About 3hrs drive from Valley Heights to Canberra.

Sitting with my laptop, a little sleepy and then...

LASSE!

I really missed our longish conversations, and 10 question game.

It was good entertainment for around 2hrs untill my laptop ran out of power. never the less, it is always nice to talk to some of your best friends back home <3

We had a little tea break about 1hr from Canberra.

It was hornestly in the mittle of now where, with view over a dryed out lake. very very flat and major piece of land.

Anyway the first thing we did was driving to the information centre.

Yvonne and I took so so so many pamphlets of random tourists attractions. Afterwards we headed for QUESTACON but there was no parking space for us, so we decided to do is as the first thing tomorrow morning.

Instead we went to the national museum of Australia!

It was awesomeness (:

I loved the Aboriginal exhibitions, their paintings (dot paintings)

and the history behind was amazing.

the shape of the figures in the dot paintings could represent people sitting, water wholes, dead people, salt lakes, bondfires etc.

We look at so much stuff, that I cant remember it all, but surprisingly most of it actually interested me!

There was this part as well, where a aboriginal radio station gave you the oppotunity to make your own radio announcement.

It was great fun, Yvonne and I was laughing to dead.

I gotta say this time I might have been laughing at Wassa instead of with him..

Anyway I reckon we spent from around 11-17 o'clock at the museum with only a lunch break. It tells a bit how interesting it was.

Afterwards we quickly went to the memorial wall, so I could see the amazing view of the parlament house.

Took some photos there, and also of these lovely spring flowers

(uploading later on)

One thing that surprised me about Canberra is that it was FREEZING!

Another was that it is the capital of Australia, but no high buildings and there is so much space! It is all spread out on a very big area.

Very very suprising.

We ended the day, arriving at Phill and Robyn's place where we are sleeping under our stay in Canberra.

On our way to their house in the car:

I SAW MY FIRST WILD KANGAROO ALIVE!!!

WOW WOW WOW

FINALLY (:

So after a lovely dinner Robyn prepared for us I went to bed, sitting here now writing my blog.

But I really gotta go to sleep now!

New updates about my 2nd day in Canberra tomorrow
