Year One recently went to the Caboolture Historical Village to take a walk through 19th-century Australia. Students took an exciting train ride, getting up close with some bush rangers along the way. They watched the blacksmith and old printery in action, helped with washing duties in the historical laundry, and searched for gems with a sieve. Students even got to see the now historical AUSTRALIA signs from Expo ’88 (yes parents – deep breath – the 80’s now qualifies for a place in a historical museum!).
The visit helps students see how vastly lifestyle, transport, communication and industry has changed over the years – and hopefully inspires some gratitude for things like the microwave and hot-water tap at home!
Take a look at their big day out…
