Most people would say that Canberra is not the most exciting of places. And I'd be one of them. During my first trip to Canberra, most of the team was spent being patronisingly told by staff members and fellow researchers "not to touch those wires", as if I would rip them out. As if ;-)
So, for some of the time, I decided to wander and explore my environment, and I found the Canberra Zoo and Aquarium. These are some pictures.
