Around AU in 58 Days: En Route to Canberra



On our way to Canberra we passed by this Big Merino. A big sheep in the stop over where in you could get to see how wool and cotton from the sheeo is created. Grabbed ourselves coffee from subway before we again head to the road again for Canberra City.


Canberra is the Australian Capital and our first stop before going to the attractions is this nice big park by a lake.Enjoying the nice weather while taking photos. This park is where they hold the spring flower festival. As my uncle told me there are loads of tulips growing in this place during spring.Though it was winter when i got here i do wish to go back during spring season:)

WHAT I WORE:
Red Beanie & Red Sweater from Mines View Park, Baguio,Boots from Cherrylane Uggs, Jacket lent to me by auntie.

Around AU in 58 Days: War Memorial Museum ,Canberra

          This Memorial is built in honour of the brave souls who fought for Australia during the world war. Here exhibits the different vehicles, armors, uniforms of the soldiers and its leaders. You could also see figures showing how their life was during their time.




                The indoor exhibit halls is like a walk through timeline of the evends during tha war. Complete with detail. From what they are wearing to what vehicle they use. There are also some recovered photos and videos captured during that time. Everything is well preserved and organized chronologically. Even the underwater vehicles life boats of the war veterans are displayed.There are a few sections interactive too




On the Outdoors is a long wall of names in honour and recognition of all those who died in the war in different countries.There at the end of the wall also lies a wonderful chapel for one brave soul.



One brave soul that isnt recognized, unnamed. I do love the design of this chapel because its made of stained walls and drawn upon with mosaic tiles.

Around AU in 58 Days: Telecom Tower, Canberra


       One of the highest spots in Canberra is the Telecom Tower. This is where the phone signals come from and they also open it as a tourist spot. You get to see a sort of aerial view already of the tower.

Right at the outdoor peak of the tower this is what youll be seeing. A sort of aerial view of canberra and maybe the neighboring towns too. It was winter and we were at a peak so even if were layered with thick jumpers it is still freezing.

            Heres a glimpse of what you will see int he indoor area of the tower. You could still see the view and right above every window will be a description of which area you are looking at. What is there and what it is to do there.

XOXO

Arounf AU in 58 Days:Australian Mint, Canberra.


             
Australian Mint. Is one of the famous attractions in Canberra.It is where their money is made from metal until the stage where it is embossed with details of its value.





          There you could also see the evolution of the appearance of australian coins from way back until today. They also have in their exhibit those rare coins found and made. Those that wasnt release because of defects and the like

          The Australian mint also have lecture tours running i think every hour so kids could be admitted here too. It is something good to feed to their curious minds. Its amazing how they kept and preserve everything in their collection and i bet it would be bigger in the years to come.
