• Mar. 6, 2009 - Questacon

Two of the coolest things about our holiday would be going to Questacon and the Adventure Resort.


We went to Questacon on my birthday, even though I was sick. Questacon is a hands on science museum.  There were lots of interesting things inside like, mirrors that made you look short and fat, or tall and skinny or upside down. 

 

I really liked this big box that had wires twirling and whirling all round the box like a train track and billiard balls would run along the tracks and then droop and land on another track and then whiz around a spiral and go through this really complicated obstacle course and then in one corner the was a ‘wire elevator’ which lifted the balls to the top of the box and they would go over it all over again.

 

And they had little presentations on interesting subjects, like tsunamis .

 

There was also this room which daddy and I both liked best. It was full of little benches that had little glass boxes with gadget-like robots inside, you pressed a button, and the object inside would do something.


When you pressed this button the legs would run, the ears would flap and the body would move up and down in running mode. 
It looks just like our dog Domino! 

When you pressed this button yellow stuff {Parmasin Cheese} would flow out of the top tap and Pasta Sauce would flow out of the bottom tap. The Mans' arm would move up and down and his bottom lip would go also go up and down. I liked this one. It was Daddy's favourite too. Mum thought it was gross.
 
When you pressed this button the cat would stand up and his tongue would go up and down happily lapping up the spilt milk. Then, suddenly he would fall dramatically to the ground, dead. Poisoned from the poisoned, spilt milk.

There was another one we didn't get to take a photo of; it was a shearer with a big black and white sheep. But there was a problem, the sheep had the scissors and was cutting {well, trying} to cut up the man! snip, snip, snip, aiming for the mans head, and missing. and then, my favourite bit, the sheep cut of the mans head! The head rolls back, but by how the robot-thingie was made, a spring inside the neck pulls the head back on, and the snipping starts again!

This is me. Pretty cool huh? I think I might make it my new avatar.

 
P.S. I will talk about the Adventure Resort another day!

Well, Nomi! I've finally gotten onto your blog as promised! :) Sounds like you had a wonderful time at the "museum" or whatever you wish to call it!
Here back in America, I'm working on school and having a wonderful time with friends. Yesterday I volunteered to help with Kid's College. Children in the area are allowed to come to Asbury College (where I go to school) and learn about Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. There were almost 100 kids. It was so much fun!
Enjoy school and say hello to everyone back in Kununurra!
