The Australian Museum ...


Last week, 7 year old R and I jumped on the ferry and headed into the city to visit the Australian Museum next to Hyde Park.  Our purpose was to visit the insect display in order to report back to R's Grade 2 class in Canada about Australian insects (to fit in with their current study topic).  To tell you the truth, the insect display was pretty boring but we also visited the skeleton exhibition which was amazing as there were skeletons from all kinds of animals.  The best part was the bicycle that you could cycle (with legs and arms) and see how the bones move together on the above skeleton on a bike.  Pretty cool.



(As a funny aside, we ran into a Grade 3 class from a local girls school with their teacher who was also a Miss Davidson!  Both their class and R found that extremely amusing.)
