Powerhouse Museum

The Powerhouse is, well, a powerhouse of things to do on a normal day, on a school holiday, it is hard to know how they pack it all in. You can even have fun activities, great games and clever craft for children to make and do at home - so you don't even need to visit the Powerhouse to enjoy the Powerhouse - alternatively, you can stay overnight.

The Powerhouse is a playground, a playhouse, a magic garden, a space lab in fact the Powerhouse has something for everyone, even Mum and Dad - you just need to look. The best place to start is the Powerhouse website.

I guess we all need a change of scene sometimes. Go on an adventure. Head north out of Sydney and get the bonus of marginally warmer weather.
