A trip to the Gingin Gravity Discovery Centre
We took a trip out to the Gingin Gravity Discovery Centre. The highlight was the 11 story leaning tower where you can drop water balloons into an incredibly cratered sand pit below. There are lots of other science experiments to explore too. We followed up with a night walk to spot some of the local nocturnal animals. We ended the night looking through telescopes at some of the features of the night sky. Great fun!
RJ looks deep into the black hole simulator.
No Mum! Kids don't go down there! They'll be spaghettified!
LR and Dad push the Bernoulli Principle to its limits.
The mums get the exciting job of filling a bucket full of water balloons.
It's a very, very long way down -- about 11 flights of stairs.
The kids begin the onslaught. Balloon after balloon is dropped onto the zone of destruction below.
E gets a closer look at a butterfly's wings.
LR gets a microscopic view of another specimen.
The face of sadness... E won something in the raffle. LR did not. Life is just so very unfair.
RJ agreed with LR... It is SO unfair... or maybe it's just way past their bedtimes...
We all went out with flashlights on a night stalk to spot animals.
The Leaning Tower of Gingin teeters towards one of the domes housing the big telescopes.
