Canberra trip

Canberra Days One and Two

by admin on April 26, 2008

We left Coolangatta airport at about half past eight at night and flew to Canberra on a teeny tiny plane.

Nothing exciting happened, except we got to the Canberra YHA (absolutely freezing) at about midnight. Which brings me to…

Day Two

To quote our booklet “Walk down Anzac Parade to view monuments. Australian War Memorial”

I love the War Memorial. We had six hours there, which was so much fun. Eventually we managed to sneak into the kids area (one by one, going in every thirty seconds, denying any connection to any school). We had to keep splitting up to avoid detection. Very fun.

At one point we were all (Tim, Georgia and I - Aaron took the photo) crouched in a little hole in the fake trenches bit. It was pretty funny, despite the injuries we all sustained.

The Memorial was huge, so much stuff in there and all so interesting. There was this little room you went into with screens that showed you views as if you were in a bomber plane and the floor vibrated and shook as though you were actually in the plane. That was pretty cool. Also the “Wipe Out Saddam” toilet paper was very funny.

Another really cool thing that I never realised existed, was the line between the War Memorial, Old Parliament House and Parliament House. Here’s me looking down towards the Parliaments.

And that concludes day two.

Hello

So once again it is the end of term and I’m on the computer for lack of anything better to do. These posts suck, but they are kind of inevitable.

Although today hasn’t been too bad. English I just talked to people, Maths was the biggest bludge ever and Modern History I worked on my assignment, just because it’s fun. Which is really sad, but whatever.

Our assignment is about the war on terror and whether it’s justified. It’s going to be really good next term. Our class has a tendency to argue over everything so it will be kind of funny.

It’s a year exactly today since I went to Japan for the three month stay and two years and one day since the two week. It’s sad. I really miss it.

Oh yeah, and I’m going on the Canberra trip next year. Can’t wait, it’s almost all of my modern history class. We go to the zoo and the Parliament Houses and heaps of other stuff. We’re there for ANZAC day too, which will be really good.

I can’t wait, it’s going to be awesome.

I’m working a fair bit these holidays, which kind of sucks.

Chicken gets a bit old.

But it is still kind of fun, cause everyone who works there is a nutcase to some degree, so it makes it interesting.

And then there’s always the bit at the end where whatever junior is on ends up lying upside down in the cabinet, wiping the windows.

People walk by and give you the weirdest looks
.
It’s worth doing just to see that.

I really can’t wait for the holidays though.

It’s 12.38 at the moment and we finish at 3.05, so we have….hang on, thinking…two hours and twenty seven minutes until the holidays!!!!!!

God, I hope that’s right.
Hee hee.
