So it all kicked off when Mrs Rocket, ‘Me sister’ and yours truly were right up in the first members of the public to get into the new world class WA Museum Boola Bardip, thanks to ‘Me sister’ winning the jackpot in the public ballot:

You’ve got a problem when uncouth individuals like myself are allowed to stand within 40 feet of Mark McGowan.

After the boring part of actually cutting the ribbon and activating the slide doors to let the official party through, us common folk ventured inside, and unlike those slowpokes, we went straight to the lifts, because bugger exploring the first floor.

If useless pieces of history are right up your alley, then my dear old family can claim to be the first people to see the ‘Megamouth’ at the WA Museum Boola Bardip, although anyone who sat through Jaws will claim we’re in the first 2 billion.

Xenu, here I come!
