riders. What a great story! Met a grade nine class in the revolving movie theatre that explained the history of the country from its birth to present day.  Very interesting theatre, it revolves around you.

Sheep Sculpture

Afternoon spent in the downtown looking at the architecture, sculptures and fountains.   The Canberra Christmas lights down town is set up for a spectacular Christmas light display.  Apparently it has made the Guinness Book of World Records three years running, so this year it was moved to the capital. We saw pictures of last years show - looks amazing. Unfortunately we won't be in the capital when they hit the lights! Had fun shopping in the mall and that was the end for the day!
