After travelling to Melbourne on the train, the students enjoyed experiences and activities including: exploring the Queen Victoria Markets, rock climbing, visiting the Melbourne Museum and watching an Imax movie, venturing to the heights of the Eureka tower, spending a day at Sovereign Hill in Ballarat, visiting the Old Melbourne Goal and the Melbourne Zoo and eating out in Lygon St and Melbourne's China Town and enjoying gelato, and more gelato.

Overall they walked 56km and now know Melbourne like the back of their hands.

There were so many stories to tell their parents when they got home, it will be a trip that they will remember forever, especially as it is the last primary school excursion for the Year 6 students.

On Friday, November 22 the Kindergarten students from St. Joseph's went on their very first excursion.

They traveled by bus to Canberra.

Their first stop was the Dinosaur Museum, where they got to create their very own fossils and learn more about the amazing creatures and animals that lived so long ago.

They had a wonderful time.

Then it was over to the Reptile Park.

Here they got to meet and hold so many different types of reptiles.

They even braved the moment and held a 3m python.

The children learnt many new interesting and funny facts about reptiles and had the greatest of times.

On the way home they enjoyed an ice-cream treat.

What an amazing adventure they had.
