Day 57 – Canberra

 
We went to the National Dinosaur Museum today. You’ll remember from our trek along the Dinosaur Trail in outback Queensland that Ryan loves dinosaurs:

Ryan enjoyed himself although Kylie and I were a little disappointed. It wasn’t as large or diverse as we had expected, but they did have some cool dinosaur bones and replica statues:









Did you know that it wasn’t a dinosaur if it flew or swam?!?!

Afterwards we went to Questacon, the interactive science museum where we found some more (and better) dinosaurs:





They had some really great exhibits that you could see and/or touch including tornados, earthquakes, lightning strikes, mirrors that change your appearance and even a guillotine simulator:



Ryan had a play around in the kids area where he was driving some vintage cars around and filling them up with petrol:



How would a trip to Canberra be complete without a drive around Parliament House?



Accommodation - Medina Executive James Court

Quiz Question #65 – In which year did the current Parliament House officially open?
