Today we sett off reasonably early, we had a really good run and were in Canberra by 1.30pm. Kids behaved well, we had a few stops, Holebrook (The submarine town) to have a look at HMAS Otway and Gundagi for some lunch.
We have a had a bit of a look around Canberra, soooo quiet in town today, New Year's day and Sunday I guess that is why but it was like a ghost town.
Despite growing up in a military family, my husband being in the defence force and having many friends that are serving defence members I am usually not one for military history, we went to The Australian War memorial, what a great memorial museum that place was, very child friendly too so with the kids running around like ratbags the staff didn't bat an eyelid! The displays were excellent and the main memorial chamber was amazingly fully decorated with mosaic tiles, incredible!
Our soldiers, sailors and airforce personel do and have done such an amazing service to our country, you can't help but be proud. Stay safe over there boys, thinking of one person in particular, he is very close to coming home and I know many people who will be very happy once he is back on Australian soil.
