16/5- History tour 2
I really enjoyed the first history tour so i was really excited to go on the second history tour. With tour involed going to a museum in warooka, visiting a grave yard and last saw some very old houses.
But first was the Museum, this place was really interesting, as it had lots of old artifacts and books. Moff lead us through the front door, which he opened with key, as this museum wasn't open that day. The museum was an old trooper's house, which involed into a house for a family of three. The museum was full of the old stuff, with some very cool old toys. I held on old gun, which you aren't allowed to hold in your shoulder, as it will break, or dislocate it. There was an old internet connection, which we hooked up to electric shock us all, this was funny and left you feeling really weird. Also a sword which was used in battle and it was really cool but rather heavy.Following Moff on again we went through the old house and into the tiny, tiny bedroom, this was seriously a metre wide and 2.5 long, which slept a few, in there we found the knife from the end of a gun, together these were called bayonets, this knife was used in war. Also in the bedrooms were gas masks, and tried these on, they felt really funny, and when you breathed you breath dust into your eyes. There lots of cooking item, from butter rollers to egg beaters. We walked into the backyard, where there were three really cool old tractors. There was also a lock up to keep the old crooks in. Moff shut the hole class in the jail and it really wasn't that dark but would get pretty depressing. In the back shed there were many machines for the various levels of the making of hay and making a hay bale. This museum was really cool and had some interesting things, including guns, swords and old pay machines.
Next we went to a grave yard, the grave yard was called Brentwood grave yard. This grave yard was in the middle of nowhere and had absolutely to buildings around it. The grave was mostly made up of young people how were all Christians but all had there epitaphs were all made up of pagan lines. For example one was " In sadness we watched her lingering breath till she lay like a lily so beautiful in death". There were 15 or 16 graves all facing east to west, but there was one on the side facing the other way. This is because they committed a sin like, having a baby with a man before they were married. The majority of the graves were young's one, ranging from 3 months but going all the way to 84. We also had lunch out the front of the graveyard, i had an apple and a sandwich with 1oos and 1000s.
The next place we attended after lunch was a really old farm barn house, this was a really large house with many buildings, this had stable for room to house 30 to 50 houses. When we first entered the drive way we stopped by a big well. We had a look down the well were Moff claimed that he had saw the biggest snake that he had ever see. We looked down and all we saw was a small snake, this was perfectly fine as the snake couldn't get up the smoothed stone well. We got back in the bus and drove along the drive way where we saw the a couple of interesting locals, these people live out side the law and therefore don't pay taxes. These people live on a different rules of there society for example not looking anyone in the eyes. The house was really old and and would have served as a large family house with large paddocks. There was one main room, a maids one room to the side, 4 or 5 sheds and mating room.
Overall the second history tour was really fun and i enjoyed it just the same as the first histor
y. Moff has a lot of knowledge from the local area and the greater community
