We conquered an impressive list of tourist attractions in the capital: Parliaments old and new, the National War memorial, the Australian Institute of Sport, the High Court of Australia, the National Gallery, the National Library and the National McDonalds. True to it's reputation, Canberra appears to lack a punchy personality but we did find the city extremely interesting and tourist friendly. The displays answered some of our questions about the many layers of the over-engineered Australian political system. The lawmaking here is awful: in the last two months the federal government has passed retro-active legislation, a ridiculous tax on the countries most productive industry and a half baked carbon tax. It seems crazy that a country with such an enterprising history and people needs so many rules and so many rule-makers.
