Story time at the War Memorial

Once each year a certain duck makes its way to the Pool of Reflection at the Australian War Memorial where it hatches a brood. The baby ducks and the Mummy duck then swim around the Eternal Flame for a day or two before waddling down Anzac Parade to Lake Burley Griffin, which presumably has more food.

This is clearly the most exciting thing a museum could ever offer a little child, but there are also two other fun things that happen all year round at the War Memorial: 

• Storytime, which is held at 10.30am on Fridays. Here's the events listing for next Friday.
• Discovery Zone, where you can fly a helicopter and captain a submarine! 

There is heaps of parking, a great cafe on the lawns outside and it's free, or a gold coin if someone's watching!
