Paige's+Ace+Detectives

Notes (continued)

The detectives are going to Ballarat on Saturday and are told to meet Ernie at the Historical Society about 11am. One of the detectives nearly gets run over and she begins to think whether or not it was chance or whether or not someone was trying to scare them off the case. Ballarat is famous for their gold fields, historical towns, horse breeding and racing, and mineral springs.

The detectives each have to think of a question, as below: Did any ships sail between Australia and America in1865? What happened in Victoria around 1865 involving Aboriginal people? What happened on the Ballarat gold fields around 1865? Why would someone take an Australian Aboriginal bullroarer, and maybe a skull, to America? Why would Jeremiah have an American Indian artefact?
