Kiama Trip

Please click on the images to see larger versions of them.

Today our class went on a trip to Kiama. Me and Brickman Barry were rebels and sometimes didn't do what the teachers told us to do! (E.g. we told the teacher we were going to buy a drink but we went to the art shop instead! But more on that later but promise you won't tell the teacher.)

First we went to the computer museum, where we saw some of the oldest computers in the world! We later saw some old people using them, but I didn't get any pictures.

Then we went for a walk. We walked up a big hill.

At the top of the hill we found an old anchor, almost as old as the computers we saw.



We also found a museum run by an old man who charged a $1 entry fee to anyone who wanted to look at all his old and useless crap. We all felt sorry for him so we paid our $1 and went in. (The teachers felt doubly sorry for him so guess how much they paid!)


There were lots of interesting things in the museum. I found a picture of an old cow (not the teacher but a real cow tehehe), the grim reaper's scythe (not pictured) , a picture of a strange old man and another old computer. What is it with Kiama and it's obsession with old computers?

There were also instructions on how to turn the old hunk of junk on and off. Windows 98 anyone?



We all hated the museum so we left after about 5 minutes and went to have something to eat. I bought a Sub from Subway (I'm now apparently part of the 'sub club') and Brickman Barry and Jack bought the same. Barry also bought a peppermint and mango icecream from the icecreamery.

We all went back to our HQ (the computer museum) and sat and talked until it was time to go back to the train station. One person wanted to go buy a drink so then everyone wanted to go buy a drink. Me and Barry also wanted a drink –tehehehehe so we asked and then we went and bought one (not! Don't tell mrs Sheridan!)

Unfortunately I didn't take any photos in the art gallery/shop because the old people in there running it would've been thinking 'wtf is that kid taking photos of our overpriced artwork for?'.

Yes that's another thing. The art was heavily overpriced (like an average of $300-400 for a crappy painting of kiama park) but I was too nice to tell the old people that. On the way out they asked Barry what he thought of the art. He said it was 'realistic' but he should've said "wtf is up wit u old ppl ur art is sooooo expensive no wunder no1 cums in here u ugly old ppl if the art woz like $50 maybe u wud have a chance but noooooo its like $300 for 1 crappy painting of kiama park.u sicken me"

Well that's pretty much it. Oh there was also a naughty boy that no-one was allowed to talk to. The teachers told him to go away but he kept coming back because he was a naughty boy. Jack said hello to the naughty boy so that makes him a naughty boy as well.


Overall the trip was shallow and perdantic. 2 stars. (out of 100)



*UPDATE* Found more pics

I found some more pictures of our trip to Kiama buried in my phone.
This is Bessie the Cow (outside the art shop/gallery)










And this is how close people in Kiama park (literally all the cars were parked like this)

Don't step over the yellow line!
