Title: Hi ho Hi ho its off to the Royal Childrens Hospital we go.
Post by: evolution on August 03, 2013, 06:41:35 PM
So on monday we are off to the RCH for a few days so little Kathleen can have some more testing done and see if medication can help.
We had a flying visit the other week and its a pretty impressive place. 
It has been a long time since I have spent a prolonged period of time in Melbourne, apart from the usual zoo, open range zoo, aquarium and science works what else would people recommend to keep a 2 year old entertained during the day?

Cheers
Evo

I think you might have named the big ones, but a couple of others;
ACMI Australian centre for movining image, is just past fed square, and is pretty interesting.
City circle tram is not bad.
Yarra river cruise

Hope all goes well.

Good luck. Will be there again on Tuesday for a check up for the one arm bandit. Will have to try and find the meerkats.

I was thinking all those, but I don't know how long it would keep my sons attention for. Me on the other hand I could do that sort of stuff for days. :-)

The Meerkats are where we take Kath. On level one at reception desk A3 just near the aquarium is where they are. Gosh they are cute little things  :cup:

Hi Evo
I must have missed something here, is your little one needing medical treatment.  If so I seriously hope that all goes well.
Obviously I cannot make any suggestion, as I know nothing about the big cities.

Thanks guys, Hopefully will go well. If the medication works then it means that we won't have to worry about surgery for a little while which will be good.
Its a pretty awesome place. lots to keep the kids smiling. ;D

I would've thought lil Kathleen would've been looking for things for you to do so you couldn't do any embarrassing Dad stuff.........  ;D

Seriously though - hope it goes well. Fingers and toes and stuff all crossed!

Thanks guys, she has been a little sweetheart. Didn't soon once through the tests today.
Its definitely a great place though, all the staff are tops.

Haha Nick, I get the job of looking after the 2yo cyclone Johnathon. He only fell asleep half an hour ago, big day for him.

Cheers

Eco,
Sorry to hear of your little ones visit to RCH. I only just found this thread this morning (actually my first post here)...if your still in town PM me with your number. I work at the zoo and if you feel like visiting give me a yell. I am sure we can find some animals to play with and take your mind off things for a while.

Wow thats a great offer mate! I really appreciate that. Myself and the little tornado Johnathon are home for now and Chantelle and Kathleen are due home tomorrow.
We are down in three weeks again, so I have sent you a PM and would be nice to catch up. Does the zoo look after the Meerekats at the RCH?

Cheers
