Museums and Mammals

Visited a couple interesting museums along our journey. The National Surf Museum in Torquay gave a great history of the surf culture of the 60s and 70s as well as the development in the designs of surfboards. The museum is in a shopping center where all the stores are devoted to surfing—think Rip Curl and Quiksilver. 

In Geelong outside Melbourne we visited the National Wool Museum and learned everything about wool, from the sheep stations, shearing, wool grading, cleaning, spinning, and much more. Fascinating. 

When we were in the Barossa, we had a dozen kangaroos romping in the field behind our B&B. 

And we met this little guy (wallaby) at the Twelve Apostles
