New years Eve

Music and burgers at the house then beach. Police keeping everything alcohol free

Melbourne-and then the museum

After 007 we hit the normal museum.  stick insect.

ants

respect for mother natures power is greater here as oz is quite prone. Bushfires 2 years ago in Victoria state were devastating

resulting in the above

tortoise shell. Its lovely that the kids are Interested in museums. 

then we saw this stationary monster

with traffic building up behind it. He didnt want a push. I think its size was what got me first plus then the potential vulnerability associated with Its age and the fact that its not in its home country

"Lincoln Continental 1961 mate, its the first run for over a year and i am having a few issues!" 

it was belching smoke out the back too

Melbourne-007 Bond exhibition 1 of 2

Paid exhibition very near where we spent the night. On the way we found Carltons only Op shop where esmes glasses were tridden on so 3 of us ended up getting new pairs. Comprising a seies of "rooms"  on one particular subject as follows, the exhibition allowed no photography

it got a bit difficult trying to explain to Rowan about how and why the lady was prostate

in each room the props and clothes were real (Apart from Pussy Galores gold waistcoat and goldfingers dinner jacket) And clips of films were playing to help illustrate the props

Melbourne- An overnight

Booked a room and off we go

kids rucsacs double as daysacks. Carrot humus haloumi water nuts apples. 45mins on bus to get to train then same again to get to Melbourne. On the bus sat behind me was a girl who revealed (to her friend) Her age (low) and number of former partners (high).

once in town sarah shopped for a sparkly dress which she tried on. So at one point i was watching at one end of the changing rooms and kids were choosing random extra things for mummy to try. Then to the apartment to stay as we walked to beautiful Carlton district of Melbourne
