Sorry you can't make it Paull. I know what you mean about it being on Easter. I was undecided until recently as to weather to go or not. Having young children it was a bit hard to convince the opposition to go away with the kids at Easter, but there is so much to do around Canberra with the kid's I'm sure they will be occupied.
Hope the whether is like it has been for the past couple of days. See you all there.
Looking forward to receiving all of you from other States.
Just a quick note: Weather is Autumn and quite nippy in the mornings BUT beatiful days with plenty of sunshine. According to long range forecast weather is going to be around 20 degrees.
Regarding plenty to do for children. Right opposite the show venue is Questacon (150 metres). A great place if your kids who are probably approaching the ten year old and older mark. Old Parl House is just some 200 metres, High Court 400 metres, Art Gallery (if you are into that kind of stuff) a little further on. Yes, plenty to see. We have arranged a cruise on Sat morning at 11.00am. It will take in the major sights of Canberra including the Tower on Black Mountain followed by BBQ beside the lake. The you can cruise on back to Motel at around 2.00pm.
Travel safely and enjoy your time here.
