Exhibition Park Showgrounds was our stop for 2 nights. The boys watched the trots and amused themselves in the wide open space. Weather - cyclonic, never the less we got out and about to check out the ACT. The National Australian Museum was a great morning out. It was interesting, fun and interactive for all. We then went to the Royal Australian Mint and watched our own $1 coin being stamped. We saw the door of a volt with $12 million dollars inside !!! We drove past Parliament House and around all the Embassies, saw the War Memorial and the Canberra Stadium. On our second night here at about 8.30pm the wind and rain was absolutely howling and our blue tarp flapping madly (I felt like I was chip in a big chip packet). We decided it was too dangerous to stay out in the open, so in the dark, Jamie and Thomas hooked up the van, (the rest of us sitting in the van - we love adventure) and made our way to a massive shed. Our only concern now was if we woke up in the middle of a market! We would be first there and wouldn't have to find a parking space. P.S. Our van does not leak. The blue tarp is a preventative measure so that the push out ends don't get wet. There's nothing worse than water dripping on your head whilst you are asleep.
