Day 25. Lazy Sundays....

We really and no plans for Canberra, there is so much to see and do, we decided we would simply play it by ear.

We decided to head out to one of the many local sunday markets and restock our cheese and salami supplies which were consumed last night. We managed to pick up some sensational salami once again, truffle and garlic this time. Can't wait to sample the fine selection of local goods we acquired today.

We all decided to have lunch at the market due to the great selection of local and international pop up food stalls.

From there it was onto Questacon for all things science and technology. We spent close to five hours here, playing and interacting with all thing science and technology. Oskar and the big kids all found something to do and even Blond managed to go on the big drop.











Closing time put a halt to the fun and we headed back to the house on wheels for a much needed early night and dinner.

Tomorrow, more things local, we have a few attractions we wish to attend tomorrow so it will be a jam packed day we are sure.

Last night it was actually cold enough to sleep under our doonas for the first time in close to a month. WOOP WOOP, the simple things in life. With our departure in the morning being a little sluggish, thanks to a good night sleep, we said our goodbyes and headed south, for our last leg of the edventure before heading onto the spirit and then home soil once again. The drive was big and boring, but the roads were fantastic so we made good progress over all. We stoped along the way at the famous Dog on the Tuckerbox and Ettamogah Pub  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ettamogah_Pub  to stretch our legs an grab some food before arriving in Melbourne at 5:30ish. We set up shop quickly, practice makes perfect, with the need for the diesel heater becoming apparent on sunset as the temperature dropped into almost single digits. Tonight we settle down to sleep knowing that in a few days we will be on the boat back home. It seems like only yesterday we left Tasma...

Day 29. Such is Life

With the overnight temperatures being nice and cool we all got a decent night sleep and the morning things just went well, brekky done, washing down, it all just kind of worked. We haven't really planned much for Melbourne, so we are just playing it by ear. First stop the DFO to purchase much needed back to school shoes for the small ones.I tell you what, if kids feet go by the same mantra like dogs and grow into them, then my kids are going to be like 7 foot tall!!  Dollars spent and bored boys; we headed back into town to visit the Melbourne Gaol. We have never been here but have heard good things about it and we were not disappointed. Firstly, we were all locked up in the watch house, role play of course,  and shown around the old Remand Centre which was in operation well into the mid 90s. From there on, we headed out into the main old Melbourne Gaol. WOW what a site, we had completely...
