Good on ya! I wanted to get in to see the statues, got chatting with a lad who had a guest pass but they wouldnt let me in because i had 3/4 shorts on, Fair enough like but a crying shame because i would have loved to have seen the Museum and such |

Nice museum maybe, everything else - big shit hole. The catering and service at Edgar Street is better. |
