School Holiday FU N
Tuesday 24 September 2014
See board, don’t get bored at Surf World THERE is plenty on offer for young grommets out of the water these school holidays with a number of exciting exhibits at Surf World Museum in Torquay. Museum curator Craig Baird said an historic board recently recovered from a Torquay backyard was one of the highlights. Also of interest is three of surf legend Mark Richards’ iconic colourful superman wetsuits that have appeared on magazine covers and
contest podiums. Mr Bird said other new things to see were two historic surf boards ridden at Bells in the famous big waves of the 1981 Easter competition; friction free experimental finless surfboards from Derek Hynd’s personal collection; and, vision in the Hall of Fame (HOF) of the 2013 Surfing Awards including Stephanie Gilmore’s induction into the HOF and the top 10 influential surfers of the last 50 years.

Crafty bunyips and pirates BY TIFFANY PILCHER THE National Wool Museum will be overrun with pint-sized pirates and bunyips during their interactive school holiday program. The first week of activities will explore pirates and the high seas and the second week will be filled with stories and activities based on the elusive bunyip. During pirate week, there will be a different storytelling session each day and craft sessions to make a pirate hat, treasure chest, peg doll box car or build a pirate ship from popsicle sticks. There will be plenty more stories for bunyip week and activities including making bunyip
Jacob’s ladders and box monsters, knitting bunyip monsters and a special art workshop to make wearable bunyip arms. All mini pirates and bunyips are invited to come along and bring their imaginations to explore the wonderful world of mythology. The program will run on weekdays from September 23 to October 4 at the National Wool Museum, 26 Moorabool Street, Geelong. Entry is $7.50 for adults, $6 for concession card holders, $4 for children and family and group and school discounts are available.
