This is an amazing lookout, actually a block of land where a house burnt down at the end of a street in Blackheath - we ran into it when we took a wrong turn. The kids had a great time throwing bits and pieces from the burnt house into the bush, and climbing all over it. By the time we left the whole gully was covered in fog.
Govetts Leap in Blackheath
Mt Victoria & District Historical Society Museum. I was surprised how much the kids enjoyed this visit. They really liked looking at all of the old things including a kitchen, tools, bikes, an old school room and a lot more. The entry to this museum is $3 for adults and 50 cents for kids over 5.
Me on the Zig Zag Railway... This was the highlight of our trip!!! It was noisy, smelly, hot and the kids loved it. This was a great opportunity to talk about how people used to travel, and how long it would take to get anywhere.. and I complain about the train to the city. We are still laughing about Jethro's reaction which kept switching between "freaking out" and laughing hysterically about being on the choo choo.
At the bottom of the zig zag the train stops to change the engine's direction so we quickly went to the train fixing shed and found Thomas..
A bonus for this day out was when we ran into some new friends who are studying at Moore College with their 3 kids. We got to sit and hang out after the trip to catch up and let the kids play.
Climbing the rocks at the Three Sisters in Katoomba
Walls Cave Track - Our first family bush walk.This walk is in Blackheath and should take approx. 1 hr and is a medium grade walk. I only walked down about 60 steps with Jethro but Rob took the big two down a little further and they found this huge ants nest. I think they are trying to look like they have been attacked. Pity there were not any ants in sight.
No pics for this but we stopped off and had lunch on the way home with our friends from church who live in the mountains. Thanks for having us L and J.. Your kids looked after ours wonderfully, they can't stop talking about your chickens and the club house!
I think you can tell us Llewellyn's love holidays. And yes we do lots of sleeping and TV watching too.
Yes, after you went I realised we usually take photos of our visitors playing with the chooks.
ReplyDeleteGlad they had a fun time. Come and visit again soon!
