Anyway, on Monday we kept going and as we passed Rockhampton we spotted the Heritage village that we were told about. So we stopped to have a look and spent 3 hours there!!! There is 28 Acres of building and artifacts that have been donated to the village. It was amazing! So all of the buildings were actually used in the Rockhampton community.

 |
| One of the volunteers is building this tram from scratch!!! |
 |
| We had a tour of the village in this Oldsmobile |
 |
| The resident donkey! |
 |
| Chris was lucky to miss out on being aquainted with the cane in his school days! |
 |
| Who would of thought you'd see the day that Chris was back in a classroom! |
 |
| This cottage was donated from a womans property when she passed away in 2006. The children have made sure that everything in this cottage was how it was when she died. Can you believe that only a couple of years ago an ederly lady lived here!!! |
 |
| I don't suppose anyone was 6" who lived here! Look at the height of the doorway! And the walls are blackened from the stove. |
 |
| She cooked from this right up until she died! |
 |
| This was her brothers room, she lived with her sister and brother |
 |
| Her shower |
This is another lady's doll and salt and pepper shaker collection
 |
| I really liked this guy! |
 |
| I wasn't quite sure what to think of the caveman troll...the carpet matches the curtains! |
 |
| This was a classic!!! Con the Fruiterer! |
 |
| I'm kindof glad we are not travelling in a van this old :) |
And this is the point that the camera died :( about half an hour or so into our visit. Oh well!
So after Rockhampton we made our way to Hervey Bay and are going to Mooloolaba tommorow to see Mum and Dad (Adney) for the long weekend. Yay :)
