Into Australian Capital Territory (ACT) & Parliament House, Questacon Visits

We arrived into the ACT on a lovely sunny day which may surprise some!! Here's Lee at the ACT sign...
Lee, Joey, & Sam outside Parliament House. The flag at the spire top is large enough to block out a double-decker bus!!
A pan view from Parliament House looking back towards the War Memorial...
Inside the Parliament House visitors can see the beautiful stone work and architecture, which is a credit to the designers...
Midway between Parliament House and the Lake Burley Griffin is this row of foreign flags representing a large number of the worlds nations...
Here's Joey checking out one of the many displays at Questacon - a scientific showpiece in central Canberra. Both the boys loved the interactive displays which showed a multitude of information about the planet, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other naturally occurring events...excellent day out here...
Sam is checking out the internal workings of a combustion engine - by assembling the various parts prior to start up...he got it running...
Lee and Sam are competing against each other on a standard bike and a 'recumbent' type bike. The recumbent bike is supposed to be faster but Sam blitzed Lee in this instance!!
