Today we went to the Western Australia Maritime Museum. We went along especially to see the Da Vinci Machines exhibition. In the photo above you can see the children built a bridge using Da Vinci's design. There's no glues, bolts or nails here. The wooden pieces are just woven together.
There were lots of machines to try out in the hands-on gallery.
People powered tank
Siege engine
Pumping water
Hammering machine
"Car"
We also had a tour of the submarine.
Torpedo tubes and escape suit
Around the rest of the museum the mega-mouth shark in alcohol was our favourite exhibit.
Of course there were plenty of boats and other hands-on exhibits.
Merchant trading gems
Spice traders
Grinding and smelling and spices
Winding in the sails
Huge sail-boat
The children liked these statues outside the museum:
