Day 128 - Tues 14th July: South Australian Museum

After a couple of weeks offline, the blog is back!

Adelaide isn't the most happening of places, so went down to the museum to check out some history on aboriginal culture. The museum has a t-rex skeleton too. Raaaaargh!

Day 122 - Weds 8th July: State Library of Victoria, Melbourne

Ned Kelly: bush ranger, folk hero, bank robber, outlaw and bushy beard grower. At the State Library of Victoria they have his famous bullet proof armour on show, which weighs in at 44kg.

Day 120 - Mon 6th July: Scienceworks Museum, Melbourne

The Scienceworks Museum has a special exhibition on at the moment which shows how some of the science fiction in Star Wars could becoming a reality in the near future (hover cars, robot limbs, etc). It also gives them an excuse to show off some props and costumes.

But the best fact I learnt today though was: Lance Armstrong has a heart 33% larger than the average man for his height. What a FACT!

Day 101 - Weds 17th June: Australian War Memorial, Canberra

Here's a pic of the wall at the Australian War Memorial that lists all those that have died serving Australia across the major wars

Day 53 - Thurs 30th April: WOW Museum, Nelson

As some of you may know, I have a slight obession with 'Back to the Future' and today a dream came true. For the first time in my life I got up close to a real, road-going DeLorean. A guy in Nelson has a shedload of money and buys all kinds of classic cars and puts them in his museum.

Look at that stainless steel shine!


Note: Flux capacitor not included on this model.

Day 51 - Tues 28th April: Te Papa Museum, Wellington

Went to the Te Papa museum today and there's loads to see there, including the world's biggest squid. Here's a pic of a big window at the museum, with a man sitting there reading his paper.

New York has lots of skyscrapers. New York has lots of museums. Hold on a sec, how's this for an idea...
Skyscrapers + Museum = The Skyscraper Museum

Day 2 - Tues 10th March: Natural History Museum, NYC

This guy is so bored.
