Envirofest 2020

 

This weekend we went to Whiteman Park for Envirofest. There were several displays of native wildlife, flora and fauna.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone! This year instead of travelling across the Nullarbor we spent new year at home eating loads, swimming in the pool and opening presents.

Kaleidoscope

Today we went to the Kaleidoscope lights festival. Not a good as Vivid Sydney of course but not bad for Joondalup! The library looked great with the rainbow serpent projected onto it.

Perth Royal Show 2016

Last weekend we went to Perth Royal Show. We managed to avoid the overpriced rides and showbags and concentrated on the free stuff instead. The children attended a kids cooking workshop where they made healthy muffins and snack balls. We found out how to become a police officer (above). The children rolled oats and ground wheat to make flour and made fresh pasta from dough.

We found out about lots of crops and farm animals along with sustainable gardening and geology of WA.

Planting potatoes and digging them up again!

Panning for gold.

Investigating contour maps

Recycling

There was time for pretend shopping, climbing and the obstacle course.

We visited the heritage displays and the vintage machinery. The cat tent was popular as were the animal  petting pavilions. We also enjoyed the art and photography displays and live music.

We watched the grand parade, motorbike stunt team and fireworks.

11 hours later we were exhausted and bloated from the free tastings. Time to go home and we hadn't even seen everything!

Tulip Time

Today we went to Araluen Botanic Park to see the tulips and other spring flowers.
