The New Parliarment House was built because the Old Parliarment House was seriously over-crowded [which means there where too many people in the house]

The AIS was established in 1981 after the Moscow Olympic Games in 1980.

I would be interested in Basketball because it is my favourite sports in the world and i am looking forward to the AIS at Canberra I want to join a basketball team because i would be a great player in a team. I can't wait for Canberra and i think everyone else is so happy to go on Canberra camp.

My Great Great Grandfather fought in the Boer War 1899-1902 and also World War 1, 1914-1918. My Great Grandfather fought in World War 2, 1939-1945. My Dad's uncle fought in the Vietnam War, 1962-1975. I didn't know that i had alot of relatives who fought in wars. They are really courageous and i know i would be too scared to go in the war.

//**Q10**// //**Describe the Gallipoli Diorama. How is it made? What does it show?**// The Gallipoli Diorama is made out of candle wax and wire. The Gallipoli Diorama shows men at war and some men being shot by the enemy from the trenches.

//**Q11**// //**Where is the Unknown Austrailan Soldier located? Why is he unknown?**//

The Unknown Australian Soldier is located at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. He is 'unknown' because so many soldiers died in the war and the only way he could be identified as Australian was by bits of his equipment and clothing. It was sad that so many people died in both wars, and it is good that they are remembered. I wish we could stop war because it is bad for our world and we can lose our population really fast 1 minute 20 people are walking and the next minute they are lying on the dirt dead.


 * //Q12//**
