Down from Brissie to Canberra for a few days for work.

Temps Max 8 min 2. Sleet/rain.

I spent two years as 3/O 'on' Canberra early 70s
I need to go somewhere I've not been but won't know until I get there!

Yeah, I get down there a bit, but not the biggest fan of the place.

Apart from the weather a family member there was saying how he loves Brisbane as there's so many nice places to ride closer to the city.

Daughter is currently trying to buy a 1 bed apartment in the city and looking at $500k as the public transport isn't that great.  Good job the place pays well because it doesn't have much else going for it.

However... that war museum ! 
I'm not a military fanatic but it's bloody impressive. I've never see anything that good elsewhere in AU or the UK.  Huuuuge and so we'll done.

I remember the war museum as a child & being totally fascinated by it. Many years later I visited as an adult and was still astounded by the dedication of the curators.  :salute: :salute:

The AWM has some VERY rare stuff in their collection.
Including an Me 262 Schwalbe jet and Me 163 Komet rocket plane.

If you are in or visiting Brisbane make sure to check out the ANZAC Legacy Gallery at the Queensland Museum

There you'll find "Mephisto" the world's ONLY remaining example of a German WW1 tank, the A7V Sturmpanzerwagen.
