It's Alive!




Today is the last day of school holidays in this house. Yesterday we trained into Melbourne for a meander around and a celebration dinner at the Queen Vic Night Market for the end of holidays/beginning of school.


We took the circle tram to Federation Square and stumbled across Theo Jansen's Strandbeests. I'd seen a video of these amazingly lifelike creatures before so I was totally psyched to see them (almost) in the flesh.


The big one was freed every 2 hours for a short stroll across the square whilst the small one could be pushed and pulled around at anytime. Seriously fantastic.





Whilst we were waiting for the big beast to be unleashed we found ourselves on the big screen, climbed trees and caught sparrows. We LOVE Melbourne.
