A few snaps from my first flight to explore Canberra Cityscape. Low and slow in the Piper Cub to get an idea of the place.

Last time I visited ACT was 20 plus years ago so have used Google earth to find my way around, and seems to be well represented, and the frame rates didn't suffer at all

Looking east toward National Gallery, National Carillon in foreground



War Memorial





City Hill





National Capital Exhibition



Ainsile Football Park, Majura Oval



Iconic Telstra Tower






Capital Hill



National Carillon (Whatever that is)



Cityscape



Impressed with the detail, but not sure how much use this add on really is apart to explore and eye candy when landing at YSCB.
