Holidays - Day 4

Day 4 - We spent the day sightseeing around Werribee. We started off with a drive to Campbell's Cove and saw the cute beach huts / sheds.


We then drove to Point Cook Homestead. This was very disappointing - the original homestead had been renovated into a restaurant and all that was left of the original buildings was the stables.



From there we went to the Point Cook RAAF Museum. This was a fascinating museum full of memorabilia and 4 hangers full of restored aircrafts and artefacts. Craig was in heaven :)



Next was the Werribee Mansion. This place was amazing - every room had been restored / furnished to its original state. We wandered upstairs and downstairs, in the main house and servants areas - lots of corridors and rooms to explore :) There were even displays of clothes - both upper class and servants.




There were also other buildings to explore on the property - laundry, bell ringers cottage, the homestead, men's hut and tool shed.
