We started early with a break away from home visiting a much loved friend down South.
Here are some pictures of our adventure.
Let me tell you it was freezing in Kangaroo Valley the day we went over Berry Mountain for a visit. 2 Hours south of Sydney this is a hidden treasure - more information about accommodation and things to do can be found here - Tourism Information
Although they had jumpers and beanies on - 2 of these kiddies had bare legs - madness but apparently they were not cold!
A stop in at the Pioneer Museum had the kids learning stuff . The museum had talking history spots and visual displays from the pioneer days of the area. The kids got to do and activity sheet with the incentive of a reward at the end.
We visited a Dairy, Forge, School House, Settlers cottage, a Museum and war remembrance room.
They even helped each other with the quiz!
A highlight of the visit was this big swing bridge - it was the entrance to the bush walks. The kids (including my big husband one) had a ball bouncing their way over this, my friend was not so keen.
Ahh the school room - those desks were a bit of a tight squeeze.
The sun dial had the correct time - I was not surprised but the kids sure were and they read it easier than they do their clocks - might need to work on that!
At the end of the tour and quiz the kids got to 'bundy' off and received postcards and information booklets about their visit.
