This morning we travel along Embassy Drive, home to nearly 80 embassies and high commissions of countries from around the world. See the spectacular traditional design of the Chinese Embassy and look out for the United States Embassy built in a modified Georgian style. We head to Capital Hill, the focal point of Canberra where we are introduced to the meeting place of the nation, Parliament House. Listening to our guide as they lead us through this political powerhouse, we will be enlightened to the daily life of democracy. After lunch, the remainder of our afternoon is spent at the Australian War Memorial. Combining a shrine, world class museum and extensive archive, the memorials’ purpose is to commemorate the sacrifice of Australians who have died in war or on operational service and those who have served our nation in times of conflict. Wander the impressive exhibitions and sombre ceremonial areas including the Hall of Memory, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Pool of Reflection. We are farewelled with the Last Post Ceremony featuring the national anthem, piper’s lament and individual story, ode recited by a defence force personnel and ending with the Last Post. What an incredible experience.
