Holbrook NSW - Submarines So Far From The Sea!

in australia •  7 years ago 

Last week we went to Melbourne.

On our trip we stopped at some nice places, one of these places was Holbrook.

It is a nice rural town, about 500km south from Sydney.

I found that the town was called Germanton but changed its name during World War One to Holbrook in honour of Lt. Norman Douglas Holbrook who was commander of a submarine.

That is why in Holbrook there is a submarine and parts of submarines to see.

My children were delighted with the submarines, this was the first time any of us had seen a real submarine and been inside a real submarine. It was an interesting experience. So far from the sea!

Instead of talking about it, here are some photos from our visit to Holbrook;

Now I have come home and can sit and type posts again, I asked my husband to write a post for me, I sent him pictures and information, but he was too lazy. Now I can do it.

I will have more posts and photos from our trip to Melbourne, this was as you see a very interesting place to see and visit.

Thank you for reading.

We - especially children - need reminders of the past like that.

Yes, they liked it, to them it was all interesting and new. Maybe when they grow up they will understand.
