On Thursday we met some friends at Australian Museum to let the kids play in something called Kidspace. It is basically a play area for children under 5 and it has lots of different areas dedicated to different types of creatures, i.e. insects or marine animals. So there were plenty of rubber spiders, snakes, plastic sharks and crabs lying around. Mia seemed to enjoy herself, so much so that after we'd had lunch in the cafe and everyone went home, we went back up to play.
She loved it. There were stuffed animals around as well, but she didn't want to touch the dingos and kookaburra's but she didn't seem to notice that she had been sat right next to a stuffed wombat!!!We then had a good look around the rest of the museum and Mia was very well behaved as she didn't moan once! There was a skeleton section and some sort of exhibition on that featured just huge images of gorilla's faces. That was quite surreal. Mia pointed at one gorilla's face she seemed to like. We also had a look at the pictures from the Wildlife Photographer of the year competition. Some amazing pictures there.
We are picking up the keys for our place that we will be leasing for a year tomorrow and going around to remind ourselves of what it looks like. We will also need to measure up so that we buy the right size fridge/freezer. We'll probably leave some of our things there but until our furniture clears customs we can't do much there.
We've also heard that until our furniture arrives we will be living in serviced apartments in Manly. They look really nice and apparently it will have views of the harbour. So we are moving there on Monday.
