Day 27. If we dont learn from history, we are bound to repeat it.
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones" Albert Einstein
Once can not simply come to Canberra and not go and see the War Memorial and Museum.
We were here 6 years ago and in that time, so much has changed, the displays are all simply stunning, with the interactive portion now being so well done, that you really need two whole days to experience the amount of information on display here.
It is hard to put into words, just how imence the exhibits are and how much of what is on display, is form the actual era and or recovered from the battlefields themselves.
A lot of this was lost on Bella and Oskar, but Krystian and the Adults took it all in with awn and a sense that even today, we as humanity have learnt nothing from History.
One of the highlights for me personally, is the Lancaster bomber and the German Messerschmitt on display in the Aviation Museum, these displays are so stunning, the shear size just mesmerising. This along with the ligth and video show that goes on for 15 minutes for each display (for a total of three displays) is just fantastic.
One of the new exhibits of the modern war, Afghanistan, whist small, greatly illustrated just how different todays warfare is.
We finished the museum with just enough time to go and see an exhibition at the National Art gallery, called Hyper Real.
If this exhibition comes to your city, I do highly recommend it. It is simply stunning and although not great in size, it is certainly very thought
provoking. The realism of the exhibits is stunning.
The Exhibition closed at 5 so it was our time to leave. With dinner calling our name we headed home to spend our last night with some of our close friends, say our goodbyes and remines one last time about the past, prior to our departure in the morning to Melbourne on our last leg.
It has been great to be able to visit our friend and let the kids relax and have a play together, i think in future, we really need to do a few more trips with friends, to enable the adults to have some more adult time and kids be, well kids.
