The Motor Show 08

Fraser and Luke and Pete went to Jeff 's Shed to jump in and out of cars


Err raining!!!


This VW Multivan was the hit of the show with it's rotating second row and fantastic table


Cheers



Dad, there's a hole through into the boot. Amazing!


Then we went to the top of Crown to check out the views

You can't beat a good pile driver

Our one day holiday in Portsea

Today we spent the morning at Portsea bay beach
and after lunch we popped over to the back beach

This is boat we built and raced around the bay


Pete and Gem go snorkelling in the giant rock pool.
Gem assisted by clever use of boogie board.
We saw many fish and under Portsea pier I saw a large ray
I couldn't help but say "Crikey"


Exploring London Bridge.
And no it hasn't fallen down.
Despite the singing of the nusery rhyme on the way


As Fraser says" That was exhilarating"
Big fun for all concerned
We'll be heading back very soon for the next session
Thankfully no wipeouts

As the saying goes "We'll all sleep well tonight"

Sunday Culture



A long overdue visit to the McClelland Sculpture park.
We revisited some old favourites and saw some new interesting things.
A recreation of 5 years ago! Reluctantly posed.

Gemma still cannot resist interracting with ALL the exhibits. Remember the picture 5 years ago? This one was not posed either!
This swan is made of a HUGE tyre. Very effective, hard to piant we expect. A nice way of recycling an old tyre. The lake was full of green algae and looked very toxic.
Suspended rocks. A memorial to one of the benefactors of the park.
Gemma finds her orange squeezer at last.
