Highlight of the Melbourne trip today was a tour to find the Giant Abalone.
After a lot of searching around an industrial estate we finally found it (see the photo)
Now from the front it looked exactly like a giant abalone.
But when we looked at the back (see second photo) it looked.... well, you have a look and see. Even my wife, who normally just ignores this sort of thing thought it looked like a giant vagina.
So - the big olive, the giant koala, the giant abalone and the big vagina.
We went to the Melbourne Museum so that Austin could see the dinosaur skeletons.
I've blogged about this before but the Melbourne Museum has CSIRAC ( link ) the last 1st generation computer in existence on display.CSIRAC was also the first computer to create music and the museum has a roll of punched paper tape on display that was the first computer music program.
Austin was scandalised - they had a gallery devoted to the human body and there were fibreglass casts of naked people from babies to old age. "Why does a museum have to have nudity?" he said. "They just go too far."
And this is my son objecting to nudity. Perhaps I adopted him and forgot.
Off to Sydney tomorrow.
