• Learn about Australia’s participation in armed conflicts all over the world at the Australian War Memorial.  Honor fallen Australian soldiers with a traditional gesture of red poppies, which began in remembrance of the first flower to bloom over the devastated battlefields of World War I.

• Enjoy lunch at Gold Creek Station, a highly noted pastoral property just outside Canberra, where you have the opportunity to get up close and personal with their resident sheep and try out your boomerang throwing skills.

• Head back to Sydney and board your flight for Darwin, in the Northern Territory.
