The students of Mount Mayhem Primary are on their school trip to Canberra. With their teacher, Ms Sparks, the three groups - the Menzies, Gillards and Holts visit places of National Significance and learn about Australian History and Government.

The activities for this book are designed to support a Year 6 excursion to Canberra either before or after the trip to ensure students get the most out of their time in the capital.
