Australia - Day 10

---

We had a few hours more hours to spend in Canberra before catching the plane to Adelaide. We took in the Royal Rose Garden, the Old Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial. While learned quite a bit about the structure and history of the Australian government and Australia's participation in World Wars I and II, the Korean conflict, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Actually got pretty tired walking around so left for the airport early. When we landed in Adelaide we found out the time there is 1/2 hour earlier than in Canberra! Had never heard of time changes other than in 1 hour increments. We found our lodgings uneventfully--a first!
