Only in Australia

Another example of the "big things" erected throughout Australia is this Giant Earthworm. This structure, located in South Gippsland, Victoria, is in honour of Megascolides Australis. More commonly known as The Giant Gippsland Earthworm, it is the largest worm in the world. There is a museum inside the giant earth worm structure and you used to be able to handle the worms but scientists found that any human contact would shorten the lives of the earthworms to a few weeks. Now when you go to the museum you can only see pictures.

Leave it to the scientists to ruin all the fun...:) Looks like you guys just keep having adventure after adventure!

Porter walked onto our front porch yesterday to find it was covered with earthworms trying to escape the torrential downpour. He screamed, pushed me out of the way and ran inside as he yelled, "Mommy, close the door fast!" By scream I mean, really loud, terrified kind of scream. Dallin tries to get Porter to over come his fear of worms by touching them - very effective:) These giant worms might send him right into hysterics.
