2nd Dreamworld Visit

On the recommendation of Meegan and Carla, I bought a Max Action Pass for Dreamworld (12 month access) and took Mim yesterday. It was a beautiful day; sunny and warm with only small crowds.

Mim loves "the Map". She continually wanted to "check the map" and point out the chair swing at Nick Central - "I want to go on this". First we went to Wiggles World and played in the FunSpot, then saw Dorothy the Dinosaur (but Mim was too scared of her to have her photo taken). Then the Big Red Car ride again, the Tea Cup ride (don't like those spinning rides!) and then to have a quick peek at Tiger Island. Only one tiger was wandering around, the show wasn't for a while so we went back to the eatery at Wiggles World and shared a burger and chips and 'toke'. What a rip off! $9.95 for a small burger, chips and drink. Luckily I got my 15% off and chose to upgrade to a large chips/drink - not that much larger though! And here's a hint. Even though we chose to eat at 11.20 and there was nobody else in the place, the food is all predone, so I especially requested the burger without tomato - they had to make it fresh!

Whilst eating lunch, a wizard came whizzing by on his dragon - with the music "give it to me baby, ah huh, ah huh" blaring. Mim was fascinated. He stopped and talked to some people then came racing back, stopped in front of us and asked if this place had a drive through before racing off. "I like that man" was the verdict.

After lunch, we headed off for the Farmyard and to catch the 12.15 cow milking. The guy doing which was made into ..... (butter, cream, yoghurt, cheese -no none of these options).....Chocolate! This immediately grabbed the attention of Mim - to think that Daisy was the reason that Freddo froggies existed! Everyone got the chance to have a milk. Mim was too scared but was happy to stand by me so I milked a bit (no Carla, I won't give you a demonstration!) Poor Daisy hadn't been milked that morning, so her udder was very full. She the milking explained to the 5 people (and 15 children) watching that Daisy the cow gave milk apparently gives up to 8litres per day. I want one for the backyard!

After playing with Daisy's tits (or 'nudder' as Mim calls it), we fed the baby goats and lambs and pigs.


Mim learnt the hard way that goats will eat anything .... she bent down to pick up some feed off the ground and .....


After feeding, we went to see the kangaroos and koalas, how's this for an attitude shot (note the fingers!).


Then back to the station for a trip on the train. Mim wanted to go on the log ride, but it was closed, so we went all the way around to Central station and then walked to Nick Central. We went on Dora the Explorer Sea Plane ride (twice), the Zinger chair swing, Blue's Clue's Skidoo's and the MerryGoRound. It was great as there was never any line up, you could get off one and get on the next straight away!

After 4 hours at DreamWorld, I decided that we'd had enough (also needed to pick C up from school). Mim fell asleep very quickly in the car. Can't wait until the next time, hopefully Owen and Charlotte can join us again!
