Lake Burley and the Zoo

As promised, here are some shots from our early morning walk along Lake Burley Griffin.

Walk by the Lake
This is, if I'm not mistaken, London Circuit. Canberra turns into a semi-ghost town in some areas during the weekends which is a good thing. I'm not too fond of crowds.

Entrance to ANU. Our hour-and-a-half walk ends here.

National Zoo
Here's a shot of us on the bus on our way to the zoo. This one's for my son just in case he's forgotten what his father looks like. Hello Mikey Boy! :-)

Kangaroo! I guess I really am in Australia!

Pretty sure. :-) The enclosure's sign said it contains the two animals in its insignia/coat of arms(?).
