Questacon

Excursions are classed as our lessons, which we are very glad about. We love going to Questacon! It is full of scientific facts and investigations - that's the part we like =) Our favourite room is on the ground floor.... it's full of exciting things such as: the 'free fall' (a giant slide, as shown in the photos) the Terror Track roller-coaster, and la guillotine, to just name a few!


Dinosaurs.



In the baby room.... Michael loved to watch the water fountains =)




In the roller-coaster there was a screen that made you believe you were really on a track, when really you were only moving around inside a simulator.

Jess and Amy in front of the spinning circus tent.

Jess having her head chopped off =P

Robert was very unsure about going down the slide...so he didn't!

Checking out the height.


In the kaleidoscope box =)


Jordan was the first of us who was game enough to go down.



Then Jamie went. I really like this photo =)

Hay Rach,

Nice photos! The one of me looks like I've been up all night. I wonder how I managed that?

Yay!! Lots of fun! We went when Beth and I we were...9 and 11. I LOVED the slide. I went on it like, 15-20 times! :D I think the guy was a bit sick of me by the end. hehe!!!
Did you go into the earthquake room?

Love ya, and will hopefully write soon :P :P :P

How exciting... thanks for commenting, Amz!! I didn't think it looked like you had been awake all night; I think the warmth and blurriness of the photo doesn't help though :P

Next week I'm going to summon up my courage (what little I have) to go down the slide... however, by the time I get to the top I'll most likely change my mind :0
I did go in the earthquake room; I must admit, I was more scared from Robert's screams than I was from the actual process :P Oh, wait: I'm talking about the lighting room... what was the earthquake room??

Bother... I just realised that I missed out on posting a few of the most amzing photos that I took :'(

luv,
Rach xo
