This time we went to the Queenland Museum. First stop was the Sciencentre, where there were three exhibition halls filled with hands-on science activities especially aimed at children. The most popular ones were the spinning chair, head on a plate and test your running speed.
After free time exploring the activities we all headed to a science presentation based around balloons. The children were eager to volunteer to help with the experiments and showed a lot of scientific knowledge when answering her questions. The children were once again polite and staff in the Sciencentre commented on their good behavior and politeness.
After lunch at the Musem Cafe we split into two groups and visited the Enquiry Centre for a talk about insects and the Courage of Ordinary Men exhibit.
The children had a run around in the gardens by the museum followed by a ride on the Brisbane Wheel. On finishing the ride we could see the storm on the horizon and luckily made it to the coach before the downpour.
It seems that luck was on our side yesterday as we missed the worst parts of the storm on our journey home. The biggest challenge that we had to face was a night without electricty. However, dinner was ready on our arrival back at camp and the children enjoyed playing circle games in the dining hall before heading off to their beds for a good night's sleep. Yet again, all were asleep within minutes.

It is so good to be updated always and to see how much they kids enjoy the time. Glad you managed to arrive safe at the camp because of the storm. I saw pictures and it looked frightening. Enjoy your time and hello to Jakob.
