SA-WA

In national park (SA) we had a lot of fun sliding down sand
very high sand dunes at Almonta beach.

It was a very exhausting walk to the top.


On our travels to WA we crossed the Nullarbor and Nullarbor means no trees so it
was a boring drive.

We visited Venus Bay, the only curved jetty. The trolley in the
photo is for carrying goods to the end of the jetty.

In Streaky bay (SA) they had a replica of the biggest great white caught  by a rod and reel.
It was a world record.


These are the cliffs of the great Australian Bight. They go right around for 100km. They are called the Bunda cliffs.

Just an Ausssie photo.
Yay!!! We crossed the border and now we are in the last state of the trip, WA.
These camels are in Norseman and are a tribute to the camel trains that used to pass through there.

Adelaide

In Birdwood just out of Adelaide, the is a motor museum called the
'National Motor Museum'.
They had lots of different types of cars from lots of different generations.
It
was really great to see and learn about these cars as I have not really known much before.

My cousin, sister and me in a display car.

In St Kilda, the is an adventure park and it is my favourite playground for Australia so far. This slide I am
on is the main attraction to the park.

These slides are connected to a wooden castle (playground castle)
and are much, much steeper than they look.

We got to go Ice skating in for the first time and it was very cold, slippery and hard work.
It is lots of fun when you get the hang of it and you don't want to leave.
For Australia Day, we went to a Timomatic concert  to watch
him and Sarah De Bono sing. Sarah has an amazing voice and Timomatic is
an amazing dancer.  


In Gumeracha we climbed the tallest rocking horse in the world.

Kangaroo Island

Hi, Kangaroo Island is located in SA and is the 3rd biggest island in oz.
It is also 4000 km from Antartica.

In K.I
we were lucky to get a dolphin safari tour and got to see some bottle nose dolphins and
also got to see some amazingly crystal clear water.
This is one of the dolphins that kept following our boat and leaping out of the water.
K.I is full of wildlife such as their seal and sealions. There are also fairy penguins which we were lucky to see because
the penguin population is declining. We got taken on a guided tour to get close up to the sea lions.


A special tourist attraction in K.I is the remarkable rocks and trust me, they are truly remarkable.
 They are dryer molten lava(magma) that has been eroded down. They create some fun and funny shape which are lots of fun climbing in and if you use you imagination, there are some awesome things.

Fun in Victoria

This is the street which leads to my dad's old farm.

This is my dad's farm which is now falling apart.

My first 4 wheeler drive.

This is me having my first motorbike ride.

We were lucky to go and see sheep getting shorn.

Halls gap zoo had animals from all around the world. In this pic, this greedy deer came
running up to me burping because it knew i had food. They are still beautiful animals.
The zoo had a Chamelion and a albino peacock. Miacats, white boomers, ostriches and much more.

Canberra

This was playground had the best ever slide. At the top, it is steeper than it looks and has a 1 metre drop.
Then you swirl round and round. It is pitch black inside.

At question they had lots of sience that I really enjoyed. This was lights spinning in a tunnel. We tried not to get dizzy.

This is the Telstra tower and everyone in ACT gets their signal from here.

This is the war memorial and we looked up and found some information about our great grandpa who fought in world war 2.

This is the new parliament house. We got to watch question time which is when parliament ask questions.
