After about 3 hours and nearly 5kms of walking at the Arboretum we moved on. Interesting map showing the zigging and zagging.
Next off we visited the Mint.

Proof room
Titan the robot tipping the blanks into the hopper, they then get vibrated in to a single layer on the conveyor belt and counted before going up in the bucket elevator.
Stairs full of 5 cent coins.
Olympic bronze medal was made from old 1 and 2 cent pieces.
The 'For Valour' coin has the name of all 100 recipients of the Victoria Cross medal on it.
By the end of our Mint tour my headache from this morning was throbbing, so we headed back to the van for some quiet time.
