National Museum.

We decided we had enough time for one more visit. We opted for the National Museum.

There was about an hour and a half available before closing time to have a look around.

Entry is into the Gandel Atrium which is a very large area containing some large exhibits. From the atrium, there are further exhibition halls.

There is a new exhibition, Decoded, which explores the exploits and achievements of the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD), from its origins in the Second World War to cyber challenges today.

'Reveal their secrets – protect our own'
“Decoded visitors can find out if they have what it takes to be a cyber security operative in a multi-player game. Work in a team to complete a mission before time runs out.
Code words can be scanned to reveal personal stories about collecting intelligence on foreign adversaries and keeping Australian secrets safe.
The exhibition also features interactive sounds and light experiences and objects including an Enigma cipher machine.”

Great Southern Land goes through to displays of human settlement in Australia.
