After a freezing cold night, we headed off to the major sites around Canberra. First stop was Old Parliament House where we had a look at the Aboriginal Embassy and then had a guided tour of Old Parliament with some role playing in the House of Representatives. We narrowly missed meeting Kevin Rudd - PM but managed to get some great photos of his car along with an even greater story about the car from our bus driver, Juliano.
We ventured onto New Parliament House where we were given a guided tour. The next on our must go to sites was the Australian War Memorial where all the boys were keen to see some weapons and pay their respects.
In our quest to find a Mass to attend, we discovered the Canberra Days in the Diocese Festivities and Mass where there was a crowd of 15,000 Pilgrims from all over the World.
