The Richardson's Adventures

Our holiday to Western Australia was initiated from the idea of taking our boys on a extended holiday prior to starting school. We have been camping in tent's, and more recently we had a camper trailer for 3 years. While the camper trailer served us well ( over 30 camping trips ), we have upgraded to our off road caravan. The caravan makes life easier for the overnight stay, quick pack up, and it also has air conditioning. Our holidays have been booked for 2 1/2 years and we have been planning in some sort of fashion since. We have upgraded the car to give hassle free motoring, not to mention the great V8 rumble.

Gravity centre GinGin, WA

Saying our goodbyes to Gran & Pop

      Gravity Discovery Centre (The Tower is made from 180 tonnes of steel)

Climb to the top
We climbed all 222 steps to the top of the Leaning Tower. The tower is 45 metres high and has a 15 degree unsupported lean.  

We dropped our water balloons through the coloured chutes. 



Then watched them free-fall at a very fast speed 
and hit the ground with a huge "Bang".

Hands - on interactive, science displays, for the boys to enjoy.

  1. Gravity centre looks interesting, that a most unusual tower structure, did the water balloons fall at 15 dec. ??? Is that the exhaust off your Patrol that Jacob is leaning next too!!!
