Restell's A Roaming

 
 

Since my last report, we've been to the Cadbury Chocolate factory (and met Freddo Frog).  The factory was cool, we saw how the chocolate was made and got to taste chocolate at all stages of making, including the cocoa butter and the unprocessed chocolate powder, which are mixed with milk and sugar to make the chocolate.  The chocolate powder was really bitter.  We were all given a big block of chocolate as soon as we got into the building, and there was a great big chest full of chocolate blocks!  After this, we headed off to Launceston, which is about 200klm from Hobart.  Today we saw a sea horse farm and went to Beaconsfield where the big rock fall happened, catching three men underground (sadly, one of the men died in the fall).  Mum and dad also went to a couple of wineries - BORING!!!!!!  We also crossed a bridge called Batman Bridge.

 
HI we are are in Tasmania and at the top of Mt Wellington you can almost fly as it is that windy.  We are going to the cadbury factory tomorrow.  Today we went for a hike over swinging bridges and a sky walk across the trees.  We went over a river that was flowing really fast.  We walked over some hills to get to a beach and that was nice.  Yesterday we went to Port Authur.  It was an old jail for the convicts.   It is freezing but there is no snow on M

Hi. We are in Melbourne.  Today we went to a live AFL game and watched it at the MCG.  We have cought the trams everywhere.  We have seen Bat Mans Batmobile (lost its wheels) at the ACMI which was awsome!  We had spanish donnut churro which was yummy.  At the library we saw Ned Kellys armour and at the Museum we saw body parts (don't remind me) and learnt how your brain works and what you see when you dream.  Melbourne is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi I am in Mittagong the see my Nanny and Grandpa.  Two days ago we went to Canberra and we went to the Mint.  I got a coin and we saw them mint new coins.  They can make $6 000 000 a day!  Then we went to the War Memorial.  In the World War 2 part there were Harley Davison motor bikes that they drove in 1939.  There was a show that showed how you bombed towns and other older planes that had guns and spotters and explosions and sirens. 
Yesterday we went to Sydney on the train.  For lunch we went to China Town and had soup and noodles.  In the morning we wnet to the Rocks.  they were the first european people to live in Australia.  In the afternoon we went to the Power house Museum and saw part of level 1 only.  There was so much to see and we didn't get to see everything.  There were old cars, trains and space ships (you got to see what it was like inside the space shuttle).  There was also roberts and you played a game against one and when he won (which he always did) he laughted at you.  We saw a big one like him working at the Mint.  You had to power up a fire engine by riding a bike, you created your own fire works and so much stuff.  If you are in Sydney you should go there!
Go Queensland!  See you later.  Morgan
 
Hi.  We are in NSW and it is cold!  Yesterday I was in Gunnedah and before that we were in Inverell.  Inverell is droughtso you can see lots of dry land.  The sheep farm we visited was selling some of their sheep because of the drought.  the drought is a bad thing because there is no water for the animals and the crops die.  The rain we are getting in Necastle proberly won't make it to Inverell because the mountains stop the clouds.  It would be great if they could get the rin like us. 
Hi everyone I miss you all (but not the girls).  Play hard at League this weekend.
 

I went to Brisbane and we have been to the Museum and the GoMA and saw the big sculptures.  We have been on the train twice and bus as well.  Georgie did her NAPLAN and I got to play in the park (I did some school work too).  Seeing my cousins Jack and Henry and Pipper was fun.  We go to NSW next (but I will still be a Qld supporter).  Bye fr

 

On Saturday the 24th we went to Townsville museum.  We saw the things they have discovered about the Pandora.  It crashed into the reef when it was getting the munteneers.  They were in chains below deck.  Most of them died. there was also a south pole display.  it told you about Shakleton getting to the south pole in 1920.
On the 25 we went to see the March in Townsville and it is big and there are the army cars and the airforce flying over all the solders then the schools marching.  The best thing is the marchers.  Then we went for a walk and then to Reef HQ,  I saw a shark and a clown fish.  Then we went home and had a swim.

 
Hi.  I know you remember me but I am Morgan.  Today we are packing the caravan to leave tomorrow to Mackay, then Townsville.  Then back to Agnes Water.  There I will get dangerously close to the water and  boat.  So see you wouldn't want to be you!  Morgan
