We got up at 6 and had breakfast with a view over large plains. According to Google it's supposed to be a lake but we couldn't see any water. Some kangaroos looked at us curiously at the picnic table.
Two hours before the Australian War Memorial opened we were already there. Luckily there was free WiFi available so we planned our next stops.
