... that during the gold rush in Ballarat, candles were made out of tallow (animal fat) and the apprentices that worked in the candle makers had to keep the rats away from eating the tallow and hair/animal parts stuck in it. Lovely. Candles are made of paraffin or beeswax now, so not nearly as gross.

We bought some raspberry drops- little candies that are a favourite at Sovereign Hill. Mmm they taste like a raspberry with a little bit of sourness. About this time ...
