SATURDAY, 07 JULY

Atlanta (Friday) -- 95°/ 72°, Mostly sunny.
Canberra (Saturday) -- 57°/25°, Mostly sunny.

As a summer evening approaches in Atlanta, another winter day begins in Australia …

ITINERARY FOR THE DAY:
• This morning, say goodbye to New South Wales and head to Canberra.
• Canberra was selected as the capital of Australia in 1908 because it was diplomatically situated between archrivals Sydney and Melbourne.
• Take an exclusive tour of the Australian Institute of Sport. Learn what it means to pursue the Olympic dream as you explore Australia’s training ground for elite athletes, including past and future Olympians.
• Visit Australia’s New Parliament House and learn more about Australia’s system of government and political history.
