The SLV is home to some temporary and permanent exhibitions. One such exhibition is the one on Ned Kelly - and if you make the trip without a surly teenager - you will find ALOT of really interesting stuff.
Not only does the library hold the death mask, armour and photos - it also holds the original of the "Jerilderie Letter" written by Ned.
There is also some really cool art and book exhibits - but I was not able to really take all that in - but my attention was grabbed by an art piece by Richard TIPPING called "Hold Up Ahead".
Also, the largest comic book I have ever seen - being "75 years of DC Comics".
Apart from that I am in awe of the building itself. The history behind it and the story of its "life" is fascinating! (another blog maybe - one that I can do when I am back at home!!)
So, eventually I succumbed to the requests of " can we go nooooooww!" and we headed for a tram to take us to the zoo!!
