//This is the excursions page. It includes our excursions, our opinions on them and photo galleries.// //__Victorian Police Museum __// //Location: World Trade Centre; lower Concourse level. Main entrance via Siddeley St, Melbourne.

We found the police museum to be a worth while excursion. It was a good opportunity to learn about past and present criminals. We found information highly relevant to our project such as Squizzy Taylor. We learnt about forensic methods used, equipment used and even past crimes such as bombing. We found the weaponry highly fascinating. It was highly convenient as it was just a hop - skip - and a tram away. // //We highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in Melbourne's past//.

// __Old Melbourne Gaol__ Location: Russel st, Melbourne 3000 // // We found the Old Melbourne Gaol to be a great help to our research as we found out about the gaol itself, criminals it housed and even punishment. It's an extremely eerie place and i'd hate to be there alone. Our tour guide had great knowledge on all aspects of the old Melbourne Gaol, he included loads of highly interesting and quite creepy facts.

We will hopefuly go back at a later date, just for fun. // Click here to see the Photo Gallery of the Old Melbourne Gaol

//__Justice Museum__// // Location: // // The Justice Museum was a wonderful experience for both of us as we had to role play a court case. We were filmed which made it even more exciting and also the fact that we were able to get the best roles there were; Riko was the judge and Sam was the prosecutor. The case that we played out was a real one about a woman named Elizebeth Scott who supposedly murdered her husband. I found it amazing to relive a past court case even though it had a grizzly end. // Click here to see the Photo Gallery of the Justice Museum
