On Tuesday September 27 we took my cousins to Canberra for a two day trip. We stayed at the Canberra Motor Village, a quiet caravan park with comfortable cabins and motel rooms located in O'Connor, just 4km from the city centre.
Canberra Zoo is a small zoo with a remarkable collection of animals including white lions, tigers and cheetahs as well as Australian native animals. We took my cousins, Annika and Olivia, to Canberra, as they had never been there before.
Then we went to Black Mountain Tower, a radio and telephone transmission tower with observation decks at about 8o mtrs above the top of Black Mountain. From the top you can get a really good feel for where everything is in Canberra and how the suburbs are laid out.
Mum and my cousins also went to the Mint, where the Australian coins are made, the National archives and Parliament house.
Canberra is well worth visiting, whether you are visiting from overseas or a local. The quality of the museums and galleries is world class and it is a city which is not too big. It really is the bush capital because you even see kangaroos on some of the roads in Canberra.
