Melbourne Museum Visit By Yang Chang  
 
 


  I visited the Melbourne Museum on the 6th of March – this is a new one that was opened in 2000.

After a guide introduced us to many features of the museum as well as many objects on display. We entered many galleries to go sightseeing. We stayed there for about four or five hours.

I was interested in the Life Gallery where there were examples of many different animals, fish, birds and insects. There some creatures I had never seen and they were very beautiful.

Through this visit I learned more about Australia’s and Melbourne’s history and it was good to see the growth of the Australian society. Now we all saw the artifacts from the different stages of Australia from the indigenous Australian aborigines and how they lived a good life here before white man arrived, all their art and tools etc. Then we saw lots of other parts of history from our multicultural history.

Now we all live in peace, most of the time. I saw a sign in the Aboriginal gallery that said, "We love our land here and we don’t want to lose it!" I feel the same because we have to look after our land and respect each other.

This was a great day and thank you Jan and Kay for taking us - it was very special.
