Today we headed out to check out the local area. First we headed out to Lochnegar Crater which was a giant crater hole made from the explosion set off by the tunnelers on the first day of the Battle of the Somme.
We went to Villers Bretonneux and the John Monash Centre which is the interactive museum and it is just so well done, spent several hours there.
