6/16 - Canberra

More touring today.

First, we went to CSIRO, which is like a national lab in the US. There, they do stuff like create super sheep that magically shed all of their wool on command:



They also have stick insects(yes, that 5-armed stick is a creepy crawly thing...). And apparently, security is very tight...





We also went to the National Museum of Australia, which looks more like a Hot Wheels play set on steroids.



They also have this futuristic kids computer playhouse, that is ironically named "k-space." That's a joke for all you solid-state geeks out there. Apparently, there are aliens in k-space:



Did I mention that it’s DAMN COLD here in Canberra? Minus 6 degrees Celsius, which is something like -50 degrees Farhenheit. Or something like that. I’m running out of cold weather clothes fast.

and laura, I will bring you back a stick insect, but don't be surprised if it just looks and acts like a stick.
