Hannah in Brisbane

For the last week and a bit Hannah has been in Queensland with Mum, Dad and Caiden to talk to people about human brains. Hannah's Mum and Dad spent about 1hr each inside one of these most amazing machines.

Which produces images of ones brain pathways like the one on the right.

Everyone wanted Hannah to have a turn ... everyone that is except for Hannah. But Hannah did help the technicians operate the machine.

Here are a few of the photos of Hannah's trip. Click on the photos to enlarge them.

Oh, and here is a video of Hannah cycling along Brisbane River.

Mammoth Cave, Janolan.

Over the weekend Hannah and her family headed to Janolan Caves and descended to the very bottom of the largest cave in NSW - Mammoth Cave. 

Mammoth Cave is not a part of the tourist caves and is quite illegal to go into! Illegal except if, as Hannah is, you're a member of a Speleological (Caving) Club. At the bottom of the cave flows the clearest river as has ever been, but it's very hard to get too with lots of tight squeezes and mazes of passage ways. Once Hannah went the wrong way with Gerrard (an adult) through a tiny little hole, then needed to come back again! I think she felt like Winnie the Pooh. Hannah needed some pulling!

At the underground river Hannah and the others had lunch, because it took all day to get in and then out again. Caiden was also there and another girl called Kate in red overalls.

Later Hannah also had special private access to Lucas Cave (a tourist cave) with the club, where we danced to Opera music! Some of these photos were taken by Hannah. 

Ask Hannah about the Possum that came into our hut and wouldn't go out again. The Possum bit Hannah's Dad's toe! They have sharp teeth!

Also ask Hannah about the storm when we were driving home in the car!

All of the weekends photos are here.

Hannah only just fitted through some parts of the cave! Poor Dad!

You can continue - if you have scuba gear!

The Broken Column

A very real fossil embedded in the rock of (I think) a wallaby.
