Arrived here yesterday and spent the day seeing some of the sites after a yummy lunch of Afghan food. The capital was designed by an architect and his wife (also an architect). The layout was designed as a landscape from the beginning, but some thought the design too grandiose and expensive.
This view from Mt. Ainsley shows the war memorial in the fore and the parliament building at the top of the photo. Lake Burley Griffin was created as a part of the overall landscape.and provides a pleasant spot to unwind for a bit.
We toured the National Museum for a few hours then took in a view and some capital art.
