Bird's Eye View

 You can see the Telstra Tower from pretty much anywhere in Canberra.  It is a telecommunications tower on top of a hill called Black Mountain. There is a restaurant at the top (very expensive), and you can ride an elevator up to check out the views.  It is the Space Needle of Canberra.  

 Inside there is a model and a small display of telephones, as well as a movie from 1972.  You could probably skip that part.


 Faith was sure impressed to see the islands in Lake Burley-Griffin.  She said it was just like the Island Princess movie.

 Lake Burley-Griffin is a man-made lake named after the American who designed the city Canberra.




 Parliament Building (their Capitol building).


 Hope, the wild child.
