Leaving Melbourne

 

We are leaving Melbourne today. I had a last play with Iris and then we left. We stopped for lunch and me and Harry went on the swing at the same time. Then we went to a beautiful cricket ground. It was fabulous.

Harry’s Birthday Party

(This post was not edited by an adult)

Today we went to Melbourne on a tram. When we got there we seperated from mum and went for a very very very long walk. We then whent to have a snack which was one slice of pizza each and a Lift to share. After we went to the bank and had a look around(.)  it was made so it looked like it did in the olden days and it also had dsplays like a photo of the bank in the 1920’s and a skale for gold and coins and with the desplay was some real gold and weghts so you could find out how much money you had.


We decided to go to the museum next and looked for food but it was all to espencive so we went back upstairs and destided that getting inside the achule museim because it was ecspenstive for only one hour so we didn’t go there but then insted we went to a mini egsibete which was about King Tut and how scientists found out about his family tree.

Next we got some chips and went home. Then we went to Erin’s house to play and have afternoon tea. Now it was Harry’s Birthday and we had a heap of food. It was very fun.

The Secret Garden

On Saturday we went to the Secret garden with Harry, David, Cameron, Erin and Charlie. There was a big ball which I think was made of marble and it weighs one point five tuns more than the weight of the whole things weight which was two point five tuns. It was held completely by water pressure and you could spin it in all directions.

There was also the giant's chair which we had a photo on

including a lot of games. It was heaps of fun. Next we went on the forest loop walk. It was six hundred metres long – it was very tiring but also fun and exciting.

After we went to the William Rickett’s sanctuary where there were sculptures that he made himself. Most were of indigenous people and if you looked closely in some you could see his face. Some of them even spurted water out. For an example there were two possums that were facing each other and out of their ears was a pipe and water was spurting and in the middle was a drain. The water went down it and then it went out of the ears again.

Warrnambool

(This section is unedited)
At penshurst we viseted the volcano descuvery centre we learned about Metamorphic rocs and left to go to a volcano (Mt Rouse) and climbed it. At Port Firey (Fairy) we looked for fish and chips but they were two ecspencive.

(this version with Dad, exploring the use of bullet points)

• On way to Warrnambool we stopped at Penshurst.
• When we climbed Mt Rouse Harry and I went down a walk trail and got lost without Mum or Dad knowing where we had gone. Luckily we eventually found our way home, but beforehand I had to take care of Harry who got very scared and was crying.
• That night we reached Warrnambool where we stayed at the Showgrounds.
• Next day we visited Port Fairy.
• That night the Greyhound Races were on at the Showgrounds we were staying at and we watched two of the races.
• Next morning we left to start travelling down the Great Ocean Road.

Princetown

Today we are staying at Princetown rec. ground. Then we set up the caravan and Harry and I set off to find a cubby. After a while we found one and when wee were inside it a sheep went baa and Harry jumped out of his skin. The other day we went to Gibson’s Steps which was a beach I and Harry built a sand castle but we built it in a place that had water falling down the side of the rock we were building on and was wrecking our sand castle. Then we went to the Twelve Apostles (only 8 are remaining)!! Then we went to a cheese shop called The Mouse Trap but it was closed so we went off to find the chocolate factory but failing to find it we went back to the caravan and had lunch. Then we returned to trying to find the chocolate factory. When we found it we sawe hat we had drove past it. After that she recommended that we went to Apostle Whey cheese. We went there and found out that the chocolate shop owner used to be the cheese maker then I bought some of the blue cheese.

Cavendish (unedited)

At Edenhope there was the ovel that the aboriginal cricet team traned at (the Aboriginal cricet team was the first Australian team to travel to England.

When we were driving to Harrow the GPS (Global Posishining Sistem) thorte we were past our destination but a sain (sign) said Harrow was in five km.

In Harrow we went to the log jail which was an old jail which was not used any more. we had a look inside it and Mum bumbed (bumped) her head (poor mum) right next to it was the seterles cotige (settlers cottage) which had on display the rooms it was a house which had about nine children then we went tot he Johnny Mullagh Museum (Johnny Mullagh was concidered the best player in the aboriginal team). Inside was a clay monument to Johnny Mullagh which was painted Bronse (bronze). inside was a skale to see which was a hever (heavier) cricket bat redgum or willow (redgum was hever than willow) a difrend (different) plase (place) had a move (movie) about how after a match Dich-a-Dick (Ed. Dick-a-Dick was another of the touring Aboriginal players) using a long skiny shild (skinny shield) and a boomirang he doged agenst (dodged against) seven people throwing at him at the same time.

At Cavendishj we saw the shop that was houme (home) to Aus Biggest Hamberger (which they didn’t make any more). At Hamilton primery and did my N.A.P.L.A.N. We also veseted the waterfulls (visited the waterfalls).

Naracoorte (unedited)

In Naracort we viseted the viseter centre and had a look around and lernt all about how robotic shering works. Then we viseted the shering shed, post ofese (office) and the old school. It was very interesting.
After we went to Narocort caves. There were a lot of caves to choose from. We chose the fosle (fossil) cave there were a lot of bones were more than 5,000 (actually 500,000) years old and we lerned all about limestone formation and pitfall traps and how animals fell down them and starved or dehydrated, there was even a tv crew. It was very eciting and intesting.

Today Harry, Mum and I went to Gorge Wildlife Park which was just opposite our camp. When we got there we got two food packets one grain and one was Milk Coffee biscuits. We even got to hold a koala. There were a lot of animals to see like the Tazmaneion Devle and the Merkats as well as some fairy penguins plus a couple of crocodiles. When we walked by the Monkeys we laughed our heads off because one of them had an apple core in it’s hand and it was banging it against the cage. The next day we went Adelaide again and went to the Bradman museum and using a stump we threw a ball at a water tank and hit it back again. After that we went to the Leanardo de vinchi (Leonardo Da Vinci) experience and looked at the things he made like the portabule bridge, parachute, water ski and the tank (the tank looked like a giant turtle). We also watched a movie about Lenardo de vinchi and all about the things he did, for example the Mona Lisa (Mona means my lady). Next we went to the Library to meet back up with Mum and she had got some books for Harry and me.

Hahndorf

At Hahndorf we went to Melba's Chocolate Factory and tasted chocolate and I brought (bought) a packet of white chocolate Easter eggs.

Next we went to Woodside cheesewrights. I bought some pure chunk honeycomb. My favourite cheese was chilli.

After we went to Beerenberg strawberry farm. You could pick strawberries in the field for $3 per adult - well nearly because it's really only 14 years old and under for free.

We went to the main street of Hahndorf. It was very, very long. We went to the Hahndorf fairies in the garden shop. It sold loads of things like toadstools.

The next day we went to Adelaide. We visited an opal mine. We saw lots of different coloured stones.

We saw some balls which were made of metal. There was a fountain and next to it were some pigs. One was even named Truffles. There we saw the silver surfers and they tried to get me with water pistols.

Max and the Silver Surfers

When we left Adelaide Mum got car sick. We decided to have lunch there. I had Hot English Mustard in mine. We played at 'Marshmallow Park'. It had a lot of things to play on. It was fun. Then Harry and I went to the toilet.
