Ned Kelly Glenrowan

Ned Kelly was one of the most infamous bushrangers. He was wanted for helping another bushranger and he killed a police officer. His family and his gang  probably got killed and he was hanged n te Melbourne Jail in 1880. The gang was Ned Kelly, Dan Kelly, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart, Today I have been to a museum in Glenrowan about him.

this is a statue of him in his armour

i am looking at a replica of his armour

this iss a wanted sign of  Ned Kelly 

This is what his house looked like

Jugiong, Gundagai, Albury

We are going south in New South Wales and are now at the border in Albury. We have free camped in all three places.

Jugiong

John and Dianne suggested we stay at Jugiong. The showgrounds were huge  and had at least 30 RVs. We made a donation in  the box before we left. We were going to have a swim but it was too late and too cold. Then the next day we saw that it didn't open till 2pm. When we looked, the three pools were all empty.

This reminded me of Simpson and his donkey

Bushrangers were robbers on the hgihways

Gundagai

At Gundagai we stayed at night near the river. There were cows behind the fence and a river. A very long ancient bridge was being renovated. The next day Nana got a haircut and I used the rest of the wifi. It costed Nana $150 for more wifi.

There is a song about Gundagai.
Where the dog sits on the tucker box 9 miles from Gudagai

This is the story of the dog on the tucker box.

The old bridge and some cows

Albury

We are at Albury and we are at the Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen leagues club (SSA). For lunch we had an Asian salad from Woolies. I had about two thirds of it and Nana had about one third. We were at the War Memorial but it was too hot so we came back to the SSA club so Nana could have coffee.

Nana says it looks crooked because it is on the side of a hill.

Questacon

Cecilia and I  went to Questacon . That was the science centre. There were masses of things to do. There were 8 galleries, all about different things and there was a theatre.

The first thing we saw was a marble ball that moved in water.

The next thing we saw was a sensor and you could play instruments on it .
The shape was a harp . It was fun to play on . 

The third thing we saw was a speaker.
We had to talk in a normal voice and we heard it high and low and fast.
Then we had to record it.

We went to the theatre for a talk about food.
CC tasted lemon then had a tablet and tasted it again.
This time it tasted like lemonade (Yummy!)
At the end we got blue tongues.

In the H2O gallery was saw the cycle of rain.

CC spent ages with the machine that sucked up scarves
and then they floated down again

The moving lights felt funny.

At this table the wind kept our helicopters in the air.

This was our tower just before it collapsed.

When we were leaving we danced with a statue.

Parliament House

I went on the discovery trail at Old Parliament House.  I saw the Magna Carta. I went on a super hero discovery trail

New Parliament House

I lay on the grass to take this photo.

The Royal Australian Mint

 I am at the Royal Australian Mint and I only got 20 minutes so don't blame me that this is short. First I saw a box of 2000 1$ coins and I learnt how they make it. Secondly I saw a robotic arm that picks up the money and drops it with the others.

Thirdly I made a one dollar coin. That is all.

Australian War Memorial Canberra

Today I went to the Canberra War Memorial and it was totally awesome. When I went there I saw the history of the ANZAC and other wars. I saw a video of a dogfight and it is by the guy who made The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings and it is about the Allies vs the Germans. The World War 1 tour has an auto guide tour where you have a device and tells you thing and projects on a wall.

A big boat, enough to fit about 13 people on it.
