Canberra in September

Arriving a day early for the Rotary 9750 District Conference gave me a bit of time to wander around the city and take some photos:


The Australian Academy of Science in Canberra built as their first home the Shine Dome, completed in 1959 and designed by Melbourne firm Grounds, Romberg and Boyd. Go to the AAS website here to read more.




The New Parliament House (completed 1988) sits slightly uphill to the Old Parliament House (completed 1927), which was built as a provisional building meant to hold government for approximately 50 years. The city of Canberra was specially planned (by an American!) and constructed as the Australian capital due to an intense rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne.



The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) has the most severe water restrictions of any Australian state.

Aussie Stadium

Special thanks to Dudley at Randwick Rotary Club for the tickets to the game!



The Army Red Berets Parachute Team were responsible for delivering the ball to start the game. In style.



The one time I didn't wear my bright red jacket to the Stadium...



Proving a combination of proximity and camera zoom ability!

See, environmentalists can be cool, says the Johnny Depp look-alike running the solar powered sound system.
That's hot.

Sydney Harbour BridgeClimb

After the breathalyzer, metal detector and near strip search (no joke!), Carrie and I clipped ourselves to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and spent the next hour or so climbing up through the structure to walk on top of the upper arch and then tumble back down the stairs to the store where you can spend any money you might have left on photos of yourself.

It was an amazing experience. Don't let me fool you.

Special thanks to the Rose Bay Rotary Club who were extremely generous and gifted the BridgeClimb to me as their Ambassadorial Scholar for the year!
