Park run followed by a beautiful breakfast by Phoebe. Scrambled eggs, avo and tomatoes +? Salad, toast and marmalade.
At the leisurely time of 11, we began discussing what activity or visitation would be undertaken and settled on a dual National Archives and Portrait Gallery visit as we thought both would be relatively quick.
Off we drove and parked next to parliament house.
Walked through the house of reps garden which when old parliament house was in use, was not open to the public. Observed tennis courts with green surface.
Walked through this area which has a timeline of women in parliament embedded in the pavement along with green blue and white tiles.
Onto the National Archives
As we entered, the young fellow on the door enticed us to catch up to a tour. I found that very enlightening. The young lady had opened the case that keeps documents associated with the constitution in darkness to preserve the ink.
My learning was that the Australian constitution is in fact a act of the British parliament.
Moved from the display about the constitution to this other display.
Onto the train section which was interesting but I didn't take any photos.
It was now past 1pm and my blood sugar was low. Stopped at the Cafe for a caffeine and sugar hit.
Following all of that, went to Gungahlin and I bought a Beanie and Henry and Phoebe visited woolies.
