Exploring Arrowtown

Last week we went on a fantastic walk, organised by the Lakes District Museum. We walked through the main street and looked at the old, and not-so-old, buildings. We visited the Chinese Village, and Sylvan got dressed up! (Who can remember what the special sign in Ah Lum's shop was for? And what was Sylvan holding in his hands?). And, most exciting of all, we went GOLD PANNING! And some of us found some!! Mrs Clark taught us how to pan the right way, and some of us were very lucky! A huge thanks to those who were able to walk with us, and to to Museum for organising such a great trip. You can see more photos on their blog at www.handsonhistory.co.nz. (sadly my camera batteries died at an inconvenient time)
