Topeng monyet or performing street monkey's

You can see topeng monyet I feel sorry for them, but do not know what I can do to help them.

Once they were part of Indonesian culture, traveling around neighbourhoods performing tricks and shows for laughing children. Now they are stuck on the end of a chain, at a smoky, polluted and hot traffic intersection.

Saving videos and animation for your classes

As a teacher I love the 'net. There are thousands, more, millions of great videos, tutorials and animations to use in classes. But the problem with the internet is that nothing stays the same, pages come and go, problems happen, schools block youtube and then you loose that great 5 minute video explaining photosynthesis.

So save them, copy them, download them and then share them. But some sites do not allow you to copy them. Here's how, use firefox and add these two neat add ons.

Buchan Caves in Victoria

Are a set of caves in Eastern Victoria created by underground rivers cutting though limestone rock almost 400 million years ago. They are about 360 kms away from Melbourne. One can camp nearby in the Buchan Caves reserve.

They were discovered by Frank Moon in the earlier part of last century. (he called his daughter Fairy Cave, and she even arranged a secret wedding in Fairy Cave.)

A tour of one of the caves will cost you about $20 and takes 45 minutes.
