Earlier in November we went to Bendigo. There was a gold mine called Deborah gold mine and we went on a tour. We went underground and had to put on a hard hat and special light. After the tour we went gold panning. I found a little piece of gold and it was fun.
We went to a chinese museum and saw a really long dragon. The longest dragon in the world. There was a night dragon too that they put out at night.
Then we went to the Grampions and did lots of bush walking. We climbed up the Pinnacle and mum got us a certificate. It said there might be an ice cream shop at the top but when we got down the bottom we got an icecream. I was designing my room on the way down.
Then we went to Naracoorte and saw some fossils in some caves. There was a skeleton of a giant kangaroo, biggest leaf eating kangaroo and its name was Stanley. It lived a long long time ago. We even got to go in the cave where it used to stay. There was another big elephant type of thing with no trunk and it was very big. When we got to another room, there was a little tunnel you could crawl through to get to the other side. I bumped my head, there were some little mice that were toys and they scuttered around in the cave that I crawled through. It was fun.

That's a great blog entry Grace , lot's of information on all the things you did :)Fancy the Goldmine being named after Mum !!!! I like the hard hats ...you look like proper miners !!! I hope you put your bit of gold somewhere safe :)
I would like to go where the fassils and animals from long ago were at Naracoorte, maybe Grandad Bill will take me there one day :)
Take care and be good for Mum,
Love Nanna Chris xxx
Naracoorte is definitely a place I'd like to see. I love fossils and stuff like that. We have a museum in a city called Manchester with a huge T-Rex skeleton and loads of other fossils and stuffed animals, but no tree-eating kangaroos - weird place is Oz.
And weren't you just a little bit scared going down the mine? I think I would have been:-)
BTW. I reckon you should be Travel Writer when you leave school, Grace. That was a smashing description of the places and things you did.
