From Daniel: I must say I was surprised to find an aquarium at the space centre! It had massive fish and tiger sharks, and a kelp forest. You could make waves then see how the kelp actually stops all the sand from getting churned up when the waves crashed. Kelp is very important to the sea life. The space ship,Endeavour, was at the space museum,there was cactus near it...the first cactus I ever saw. We got a nasa passport, then went to see the space shuttle. I di...

From Robyn: This one was for me! I have always been fascinated by the shuttles and their missions, and if I failed to ever witness a launch, at least I got to see this incredible vehicle. The exhibition was very well done, heaps of info broken into manageable chunks. It was great to touch the tyres that landed Endeavour and see how trashed they got! And to watch the time lapse video of how they moved the shuttle to the science centre. There were so many other thi...

Amazing to see how the miners had to work. Take a trip on the Calico Train and be held up by robbers - done! Really ni...

From Daniel: My favourite ride was Linus' blanket ride at Camp Snoopy. You got on and lay on your tummy, and it swung you round like you were flying. The trick is when you lose your tummy to yell out and it makes you get air and feel better...that's why everyone screams on roller coasters. At my other favourite, Big foot Rapid...

It was a very bumpy flight! I think the time flew(excuse the pun) It took about an hour and a half to get through customs but we made it! Now it is very loud and we are waiting for our shuttle but it is great to be in the sun! Gemma
