Central heating keep rooms very warm at night. Paul brought us to Budget where we got a clunker of a Commodore Executive at $75/day. RAA to get a street map. Spent 15 minutes trying to zone in on the War Memorial. Spent two hours going through the museum's diaramas that showed stages of battles for various wars. Didn't glorify, but was more along the lines "lest we forget..." Belconnen Mall that Paul raved about but was a derelect dump - dirty, dead and depressing. Lunch there and found a wall clock for Heasleys. Mr Lees claimed that boiled linseed bran had helped his arthritis and kept him healthy [the horse story]. I stayed up to watch All Blacks beat ACT 16 - 3. enlarge
