Amazing Australia... post from Matthijs



Australia is so amazing. I love it! I love all the new cool animals we've seen, and not just the birds! The birds are really cool too. They have a lot of very colorful parrots and cockatoo's everywhere. My favorite one is a white cockatoo that is pink under it's wings with a yellow crest on top of it's head.
One day, we even got to feed wallabies, they are soooooo cute, they are like little mini kangaroos. I loved it when they grabbed my hand for the food. They were out in the wild and are shy unless you have some food for them! We also got to feed and pet some kangaroos.
We also went to the Great Barrier Reef. It was fun! We even got to see a turtle! I saw a giant clam that was about a meter wide! And lots of other amazing fish and coral. I was the only one to see a starfish floating with the current. While we were walking through the rainforest, we heard about a poisonous berry. If you only touched it, you would have a rash on your skin and a headache for 6 weeks! We had a great time in Sydney. It is a really nice city and fun to hang out in. Now, we are in a house, which is great because now we have a lot more room to roam around. There is also a boogie board and a surf board in the house for us to use. We aren't so good at the surfboard, but we love catching the waves with it! We've spent the last two days at the beach trying it out. We leave tomorrow. I’ll write a lot more soon!
