Canberra

Before we even booked to go to Canberra everyone told us that there was nothing there and it wasn't worth seeing, but given that were touring Australia we couldn't miss out their capital city.

We arrived under the cover of darkness so the wonders of Canberra remained a mystery until the following day (one day we'll arrive somewhere in the light again). However our first night got off to a good start as we found that in the hostel we had booked into you weren't allowed to do your own washing up, they did it all for you (bonus!).

The next day we went for a walk to see Capital hill and the parliment building which looked a bit too American but the highlight for me was see wild Cockatoos and Gallars just on verges and in parks (I was so star stuck, yes I'm sad). Then on our walk back we saw two red back spiders on the pavement by a bush (I had to stop Samantha walking on them for fear they might chase us).

Having now seen the centre of Canberra too eveyone was right there is very little here for a capital city but it does have nice houses so it would probably be nice to live here.
