Postcards from Melbourne! Brooklyn's School concert....

Welcome to Brooklyn's school concert for 2008!

Postcards from Melbourne. It was written by one of the teachers and is about space aliens crash landing on Earth in Melbourne and reporting back to their home planet all that they learn about Melbourne! It was really good actually!
Brooklyn's Grade 1 class were trams. The aliens used the trams as a time travel machine to visit all the places in Melbourne. Brooklyn is in the front, 4th from the left. Isn't she cute?





We roamed all around Melbourne and performed about all things popular here! Here are the children at the Melbourne Cup (horse race!). It turns out that Melbourne is the only city in the world to declare a public holiday for a horse race ever since Pharlap in the 30's!!! Bit of trivia for you there! Anything for a day off I think! Hehe! (We normally choose this weekend to go camping and don't even watch the race!
Of course we had to include the traditional Australian Rules (Aussie Rules!) Football boys. From the picture I can see some Hawthorn colours, some Geelong, Western Bulldogs, Collingwood and Richmond. No Melbourne Demons! (red and blue colours!) Bottom of the ladder this year probably why, there's always next year!
Here we are at Ballarat for the Goldrush of the 1800's. We went camping here 2 years ago (about 2-3 hours from Melbourne) and went to Soverign Hill Park! Did some Gold panning! Apparently brought alot of immigrants to Melbourne! Was alot of fun!
