Canberra



I went to Questscon. It is a place that you can do experiments that are hands on. I bought a packet of ‘make your own slime’. There was a six metre drop slide. I put my hands out and burnt my hand. There was a bucket of kinetic sand. It changed colour under the light. It feels weird in your hands. One thing in room one was one of my favourite things. It was where you hold your hands out as hard as you can get them for thirty seconds. And take them out and you can’t move them.


I went to the snow in Canberra. It felt like ice. I went on the toboggan. We made a snow man. I had a hot drink.


I went to the Australian Institute of sports. I went in a room that had games to play.  I did skiing and wheelchair basket ball and football and bike riding and rock climbing and rowing boats.  I went in the gymnastics room. The volley ball room and the stadium. We went to the swimming pool to see where the swimmers train. There was no one there at the time.

Sydney




I saw the Sydney harbour bridge which is made of steel beams. It is 500 metres long.
I saw the Opera house. It was popular for school excursions. It had lots of triangle tiles on the roof and it had glass windows so you could see inside the restaurant.

I saw Bondi beach which is where the first life saving club was. The beach was popular. We had fish and chips for lunch there.

I saw Palm Beach which is where home and away is. It was freezing when we went there and I didn’t want to jump in the water.


I saw the manly ferry. I got my own Opal travel card. The boat went from manly to Circular Quay. There was lots of people on board and in was cold outside.








New South Wales

Coffs Harbour 


We went to the Big banana at Coffs Harbour. We stayed at Sapphire beach at the caravan park. It was walking distance from the beach.






Port Macquarie

We went to the koala hospital. Some had burns from bush fires. Some were blind and some were attacked by dogs. Some had got hit by a car.





Dubbo Zoo

We went to the zoo and we rode bikes around. My favourite animal was the Cheetah!
We had a picnic lunch there.
The best bits about the zoo was the bike riding and the cutest animal was the monkeys.









Parkes


We went to the CSIRO radio telescope. It is used for picking up things in space. I got to have a go of the mini dish which was called the whispering dish, You talk int one dish and someone can hear you at the other dish which is at the other end of the park!

Seaworld, Movieworld and Wet n Wild!



I bought a hat and a purse from Movie world with my money from nana. I got a polar bear from Seaworld. I would go back to movie world if I could. My least favourite ride was the Scooby Doo ride in Movie world because it was scary! It was dark!
The three rides I went on at Movie world were the Pounce and Bounce. Driving school and the tweety bird cages ride. At Wet and Wild three waterslides were: the mini tornado, the blue tubes slide an the side stream. Dora and Boots theme was best friends day at seaworld. We watched the show and had an icecream. My favourite ride from each park was bounce and pounce from Movie world. Boat ride at seaworld. Side stream at wet and wild.

I liked Movie World because of all the kids rides. I watched a 4D movie called Rio 2 at Movie world and a 3D movie at seaworld was Sponge Bob. My favourite character was… TWEETY.

My favourite show was the dolphins at seaworld.
