WAR!!!!!

The atrocities and adventures of war are the stuff legends are made of. Regardless of personal opinion, war has played a part in human history for pretty much ever, and it is necessary to examine from an historical and ethical perspective.

Our visit to the Australian War Memorial started off with some very impressive tanks and cannons...there were many cries of "Phwoaarrr - look at that one!!"

It was amazing to realise how heavy these weapons are (up to 47 tonnes just the barrel) and how far they could shoot (22,400 meters!!).

We entered the museum and spent quite a while looking at all sorts if artifacts. Some if our favorites were the uniforms, swords, horse gear and great paintings.

The first section was all about ww1. It is devastating to think of the deaths just at Gallipoli for example...

The whole next area was dedicated to theatre presentations and huge machines. Planes, submarines and tanks were all on show and we watched a reenactment if a WW2 air battle.

The last section was interactive and we could try flying a helicopter in Vietnam, check out what 'trench foot' looked like, hang out in a sub and practice some morse code. Great fun.

We finished our day with the 'Last Post' ceremony where a fallen soldier was remembered. It was very touching and Mum cried.

The whole experience was actually more interesting than I expected and it's a great worth a visit.

A Day In Canberra

Today we all went to Canberra for a day of freak show shakes.

So we had heard a lot about the famous freak show milkshakes of Patissez for quite a while, and it seemed like everyone in Canberra had to, for there was a one and a half hour wait to get a seat on a Monday! Which was still better then when we popped in to check them out on a Saturday, and there was a three to four hour wait just for take away so we got it pretty good😃

The only time you can lick the outside of the cup😄

Who would of thought that you could get a food coma from a milkshake!

To be honest the milkshakes weren't quite as good as I expected, but they still were great, there basically good quality shakes whith lots of weird stuff on top, so nothing wrong by me!

The flavours we chose were...

Salted Nuts for yomama, French Me for Flex and for lucky Like A Velvet.
