Canberra - the capital of Australia

In Canberra - the capital of Australia - we visited the House of Parliament ...We were lucky and saw the Prime Minister Julia Gillert (the Australian Angela Merkel)!

The kangaroo and emu are important symbols for the Australians. They stand for progress and moving forward, because they can only jump or run forward not backwards. 

The view from the House of Parliament 

Jo - almost a real Aussi 

Inside the House of Parliament 

The massive Australian flag on top! 

Time for another beer! Canberra is inside the Australian Capital Territory. So we crossed the border to Victoria again.
