It was a rainy day and Canberra was colder than Sydney. We visited the new and old Parliament House, and the War Memorial Museum. I took a picture at the House of Representatives but unfortunately my memory card spoiled and I lost all the pictures. The pictures you see here are from my colleague's camera.

The War Memorial Museum is a nice museum but too bad I don't know much about the history of WWI. The only hall that I could make a connection was the invasion of Malaya by the Japanese during WWII.

We stayed in a motel that night. That was the first time I stayed in a motel. After a heavy breakfast in the next morning, we went to Old Bus Depot Market.

Before we left Canberra, we stopped by Lake Burley Griffin to take some photos.

On our way back, we went into a small town called Goulburn and then the third largest city in New South Wales, Wollongong.

Many people said Canberra is just like our Putrajaya, nothing much to see except the government buildings. Well, I have to agree... May be because it was winter and raining, we didn't enjoy much. Anyway, at least I have been to Canberra, Goulburn and Wollongong. :)

I would like to visit Canberra.. should take the 1 day city tour but I didn't do it :(
How's the motel in OZ? nice? how much does it cost per room?

Were you there as a student or tourist? May be it is more fun to join a tour but 1 day seems to be too rush.
The motel was ok. AUD75 per room per night. The bed has heater somemore.
