Flat Stanley Visits Singapore - on a really really really big plane


Flat Stanley flew to Singapore for a few days !

He enjoyed a business trip from Melbourne, Australia to the island country of Singapore on a Qantas A380 Aircraft, which is the largest passenger aircraft in the world! The flight was only fairly short (about 8 hours), and was nice and comfortable.

Flat Stanley visits Bendigo for the weekend


At the weekend Flat Stanley went to a Geocaching event in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. He'd been "resting" in Northcote after his long trip from Minnesota, and was really looking forward to meeting some new friends in Bendigo, and having some new adventures. 

Bendigo is around 150km (or 91 miles) north of Melbourne. So Flat Stanley was looking forward to seeing all the sights on the way.  It was going to be a warm weekend - with temperatures of around 38 Celcius, and not much cooler at night. 

Safety First Flat Stanley - in the car with Carl's mum and Dad - Ceri and Dianne.

Flat Stanley stayed at the Quest Central Hotel in Bendigo. It's such a new hotel, that you can't even see it on Google Streetview.  It wasn't event built when the photograph was taken !  

While in Bendigo he visited the Town Hall, the famous Alexandra Fountain  and even the Bendigo Pottery.


 Flat Stanley has heard that he may be travelling to Singapore this week !

Flat Stanley arrives in Northcote, Victoria, Australia !

Flat Stanley Arrives in Northcote Australia. It's summer in the southern hemisphere at the moment so he's glad to be in the warmth rather than the cold of Edina ! He says he's thinking about a trip to Bendigo, VIC, Australia this weekend, and perhaps Singapore next week ! Welcome to Australia Flat Stanley !
