*Day Three* -Australian War Memorial, Canberra


Australian War Memorial... All I can say is wow.
The emotions felt while looking through here were emotions I had never ever felt before. So raw, so deep. It really puts what happened into perspective. 


I could of spent a good whole day just wondering through the memorial. 
 But because we did Cockington Green & The Dinosaur Museum in the same day, Zack was grumpy. 

Throughout the museum they have numerous scenes made out from the war.  




There are also letters written home to loved ones....


and guns that had been blown apart. 


The recruitment poster! 


The one thing that nearly bought me to tears were the crosses.....



Boots still had mud on them, like it was only yesterday they were stomping through trenches. (unfortunately I didn't get any pictures).

There is a massive section full of planes to! 


One day I will make it back here again! 
To reflect and remember them for all they did for us <3 
Lest We Forget x

*Day Three* Dinosaur Museum, Canberra

After visiting Cockington Green, we then ducked across the road to the dinosaur museum.
This place is absolutely amazing for kids that have an interest in Dinos! There are dinosaurs scattered all over the front lawn of the place with many many more inside. Apparently its Australia's largest perminate display! COOL! 



Master Zack was a bit frightened of them all to start off with. He just wasn't quiet sure with all the roaring and movements going on. He was always asking for Daddy to pick him up for cuddles. By the end of it he was running around all excited and roaring back at them.


There is plenty to look at and learn.




With some fantastic displays to take some great photos.
