A truly amazing Gallipoli story....
Such Courage, Commitment and Bravery.......
 |
Remembered forever at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra.......
Lest we Forget....
We discovered a beautiful tribute to Australian Service Men and Women at 80 Mile Beach in North Western Australia.....
A sleepy place which consists of a caravan park by the sea which is well known for it's fishing and its amazing beach of shells.....
A lovely tribute.....
A dawn service here would be very special no doubt.......

Questacon....
Hanging out at our National Science Centre Questacon (in Canberra) meant that there were big smiles on the kid's faces all day....
Questacon is (4) levels of fun interactive Science.......
Physics, energy, weather, mechanics, music, technology, forces, biology, chemistry......
It's all here and presented in a fun, interactive way that is totally irresistible to kids (and adults).....
A quick lunch in the carpark and straight back in there....
To much fun for one day.....
We will definitely return one day.....

Going back to The Australian War Memorial....
We thoroughly enjoyed Canberra.....so much to see and do.....
In fact we didn't have enough time to visit everything we wanted to see...
The Australian War Memorial is a wonderful national memorial to commemorate the sacrifices of Australians who have served during wartime....
After seeing his Great Uncle Frank's name on the roll, James went hunting for more names....
The 'tomb of the unknown soldier'.....very moving....
The remains of our unidentified soldier were recovered from France and bought home in 1993 and interred in this magnificent 'Hall of Memory'.....
The Unknown Soldier represents all Australians who have been killed during wartimes....
Some real life used artefacts and miniature war scenes to help us to appreciate the conditions that Australian soldiers had to endure.....
All Victoria Cross medal holders are recognised here......Australia's bravest........
