The tower

The shadow in yesterday's shadow was that of the Black Mountain Tower, a telecommunication tower with an indoor and outdoor observation decks, great for panoramic views of Canberra and beyond!

Wonder what is that shadow on the trees?? All will be revealed tomorrow!

This is probably Canberra's most famous landmark: the Parliament and its flag mast on Capital Hill. I'm not terribly interested in politics but I was quite happy to take part in a guided tour, not on this trip though. The highlight of that tour was standing on the grassy roof of the building and enjoy Canberra from another (high) point of view!

You are not looking at a spaceship that has just landed in Canberra, this is the National Museum of Australia. I quite like the quirky architecture and it's a great museum too!

This is the National Library of Australia. On the shelves you will find - amongst other things - every single book published in Australia. Oh... how I'd love to be locked up in there for days and days!! And sooner or later this is the kind of storage space I will need for my own collection of books :)
