Canberra - the capital, designed to be


Hallo to all of you!

Canberra is worth an entry! Canberra - as the capital city - has been specifically designed by architects to be the capital city, stamped out of nothing and nowhere in the middle of the Australian bush. And it has been designed to be grand in every aspect of the word ....it can only be driven through by car, as nothing is situated in 'walking-distance' :-)
But there are enough parking spaces planned and provided as well so that's rather convenient. The architecture ranges from spectacular to bold. But everythig has enough space in between.;-)
Here are the pictures.
We spent some pleasent days there, visiting a lot of intersting museums and other exhibitions, which are all free! ;-) Thus our days have been packed and very informative as well.
We even visited the 'Deep Space Communication Center' where there are 'Mega-Antennas' communicating with space-crafts circulating in "deeper space" (as the name truely states ;-) )..was amazing, really.

Now we are in Sydney, where we have managed to sell the car already !! JUCHUUU!
On Wednesday we will leave the city again to travel a little bit inland to have a last look at the 'Outback' and will return to Sydney around the 24th of Dec..

We hope you have about as much 'Chrismas-stress' as we have: "Christmas??? What's that? Where? When? Why? Huuh?"
..and whish you all the best till the next entry ;-)

Kisses and hugs, Renate & Mirko

Just taking part only in the last two days of christmas stress is another idea to avoid it most of the time ... :-)) I am trying this out, this year.

Have a great time!
