Continuing to catch up...

After the Dog on a Tuckerbox, we headed up to Goulburn, city of the Big Merino sheep. It is a really strange 3 storey high concrete merino sheep. You can climb up inside the sheep past displays about wool. It is obviously a MUST SEE for any spinner. We only bought 3 postcards and now we are arguing over who gets to send them to whom....

The next day, we headed for the Jenolan Caves. Apparently one of them, the Orient Cave, is rated as one of the top 10 caves in the world decorationwise. As I said in my last post, I am really glad we have been to the 5 cave systems we have visited in the order we have done them. We are getting quite fond of cave systems and they just seem to be getting better. If the kids are required to do projects when they get home, they are definitely going to do them on caves. I realized how much you learn about things when you hear it in 5 different places.

We actually spent the following morning back at the Jenolan Caves to do the self guided tour of one cave. It had an audioguide which really explained things we had been getting peicemeal as we visited the other cave systems.

That brings us up to date. We are going to spend the day trying to get ready to take off for Hong Kong and maybe do a bit of Sydney sightseeing.
