Hey guys.

Today was moving day. It was a 350 km drive. We drove through a valley, and the views of the mountains on ether side were amazing. It rained a lot of the time while we were driving. We are now in Tamworth. This caravan park has a playground and a swimming pool. This caravan park is pretty cool. Happy Easter for Sunday. ^^

Thanks :)

Hey guys.

Today we went to the beach and entertained ourselves at the caravan park, again. We went to Elizabeth beach. It was really nice there. Andrew and I went boogy boarding again despite the fact there we blue bottles every where and Dad saw some fins in the water. The waves were really good and I only got pulled under once :). It was really nice. After that we headed back to the caravan park. Andrew and I went to the pool and had a swim. Today was very enjoyable.

Hey guys.

Today we went to the beach and entertained our selves at the caravan park.
First we went to the beach. We went boogy boarding. It was fun because the waves were huge. It was so much fun. Next we went back to the caravan park. We watched a movie in the movie room. It was called Meet Dave. It was pretty good. Then we went and had a swim in the pool.
We had so much fun today.

Thanks ^^

Hey guys.

Today was moving day. We sat in the car for seven hours. One and a half of those hours was on the side of the road waiting for the clutch to cool down. It was a very long trip. We managed to watch some of Benchwarmers on Andrews laptop before the battery dyed.
The park we are staying at is really cool. It has a swimming pool, a move room, a tv room, 3 playgrounds, and a games room.
Today was went very slowly.

Hey guys.

Today we relaxed and Andrew and Mum went to the beach. We stayed at the caravan in the morning and I did a little bit of maths. I have got a cold so I didn't go to the beach as well. We just relaxed for the rest of the afternoon. Today was cool.

Hey guys.

Today we went to the Blue Mountains.
The first walk we did was a one and a half hours, but I think it was more than that. At the start of it we had to walk down 800 stairs, down the front of a cliff. We all had jelly legs by the end of the stairs. The views were amazing. At the end of the walk we found an old coal mine. It was really interesting to see what the coal miners used to live in. To get back to the top of the cliff we had to catch a train. The train went up the cliff vertically, it was really scary and I thought I was going to die :P. To get back to the car park we had to catch a cable car to the other side of the cliffs. The cable car was pretty cool, because it had a glass bottom.
When we got back to the caravan Andrew and I went to the computer room and played some games.

Hey guys.

Today we went to the beach and North Head. First we went to a beach just outside of Manly. We sat and had lunch on the cliffs and watched the waves roll in. After we had finished lunch we went for a walk down to the beach. There were massive storm water pipes leading into the sea. Next we went to the North head. We stopped off at the visitors center. We found out that the building just across from the visitors center is where they film the Biggest Loser tv show. It was really cool. We went for a walk around North Head and back again, it was a nice walk.
Next we went to the Manly Beach where we did anouther walk along the beach and back again. It wasnt so bad. We decided that it was not a good idea to swim there.
When we got back to the caravan we went to the sea pool just over from the caravan. It was really enjoyable.

Hey guys.

Today we went to the beach. We did a little bit of school work this morning. Then we got in the car and headed to Avalon Beach, to have lunch. The waves looked nice for body surfing. After lunch we drove down to Palm Beach to have a swim. The beach was really nice and the waves were good for body surfing. We stayed for a couple of hours. I body surfed most of the time. I berried Andrew in sand, and then Andrew and Dad berried me in sand. The water was nice.
I enjoyed today.

Hey guys.

Today we went on a ferry ride, to the Powerhouse Museum, and to the Imax to see Alice in Wonderland. We woke up at a quarter to 7 to try and bypass the rush hour traffic. When we got into town we had breakfast at Mc Donalds. Then we went on a ferry ride to the Opera House. The architecture was amazing. It started to rain just before we got back to the ferry, to get a ride back.
Next we went to the Powerhouse Museum. It was interesting. There was a lot to see there.
Then we headed over to the Imax. It is the biggest Imax screen in the world. The movie Alice in Wonderland was really good and recommend seeing it. It was really cool seeing it on the big, big screen. I enjoyed today. :)

Thanks

Hey guys.

Today we went to the National Maritime Museum, and the Aquarium. The Maritime Museum was awesome, there was so much there to see. They had a submarine, a warship, and a replica of the Endeavour. The submarine was awesome. The bunks were so tiny, it was cramped inside. The warship was luxury compared to the submarine. But for some reason I thought the Endeavour looked a bit more comfortable.

Next we took a monorail to the aquarium. It was awesome to see the sharks and all the poisonous fish. It was really fun.
We had lots of fun today.

Cya in a couple of weeks.

Hey guys.

Today we stayed at the caravan park and just lazed around. First we did some school work. After that we went to the computer room and played computer games. We also played a bit outside. Later Andrew, Mum, and I went for a walk to the beach. There were some sea water pools. Andrew decided he wanted to go for a night swim. Today was lots of fun.

Hey guys.

Today we moved from Canberra to Sydney. It was a 300km drive. This park has a playground, two games and tv rooms. We figured out that we had free internet so we played our computers for a bit. It was really fun.

Hey guys.

Today we went for a walk around part of Lake Burly Griffin.
We stayed in the caravan for the morning and did school work.
After lunch we went for our walk. At the start of the walk there was a information building on the history of Canberra. There some national flags on the water front. There was a bell tower on a small island in the lake. We walked past the National Gallery. When we had finished the walk we came across a whole patch of trees with flying foxes in them. We got Andrew to stand under one of the trees with some fruit. Then we walked down to a place where they were showing bonsai trees, it was amazing. When we get back home I am going to try to take up making bonsai trees. We had lots of fun today.

Thanks :)

Hey guys.

Today we went to the Australian Institute of Sport and Zone 3 laser tag.
First we went to the Australian Institute of Sport. It was really interesting to see where athletes train. There was a room where you could try a few different sports like Virtual foot ball and Cricket, skying, rock climbing and many more different sports. It was really fun there.
Next we were of to Zone 3. We got Mum and Dad to have a go. Andrew and I were on a team in the first round and then it was free for all the next two rounds. I won every round :). My top score was something like 12500. We had lots of fun today.

Thanks :]

Hey guys.
Today we went to the National Museum and the Telstra Tower on Black Mountain.
The National Museum was interesting. There was an Aboriginal, Torres strait mask, and an early Australian settlers section. First we went to the K-zone (Kid zone.) In the K-zone you had to design a space ship then you would see it in a 3D movie. It was pretty cool. The disappointing thing about the museum was it only had three sections. We thought because it was the National Museum, it might have a lot more to see there.
We sat on the banks of Lake Burly Griffin.
Next we drove up to the Telstra Tower on Black Mountain. It was a really good view from up there. There were massive flying ants about as big as this gap. They were huge. There were hundreds of them up there. The elevator made your stomach churn on the way down.

Sunday, March 14, 2010

Hey guys.

Today we went to Old Parliament House and Parliament House. We had a tour of Old Parliament House. It was interesting.
Next we walked up to Parliament House. We got to watch Question Time. It was really funny to see all the politicians yelling at each other and booing the other parties comments. Kevin Rudd was there and a few other well known politicians like Tony Abbot and Peter Garret.
We had lots of fun today.

Thanks :]

Hey guys.

Today we went to Questicon and the Royal Australian Mint.
Today it is Andrew's Birth Day, Happy Birthday Andrew!!!! Questicon was really cool because there was so much hands on science and things to do. On the bottom level there was a massive free fall slide, you free fell for a couple of metres then it sloped into a slide, there was a roller coaster simulator, it was fun, and there was lots more. We went to a show and there were all sorts of optical illusions, it was really cool. Next we went off to lunch at a food court. I had Hungry Jack's.
Lastly we went off to the mint. If you don't know what the mint is here is the answer. The mint is where they print and make money. It was really interesting. Andrew and I made a dollar coin each. It is a 2010 coin.

War Memorial and some shocking news



Hey guys.

Today we went to the Australian War Memorial. The War Memorial was really cool, there was so much to see. There were army vehicles, helicopters, airplanes, and much more. The history was really interesting and I enjoyed it. There was a place where you could go inside a submarine (not a real one), a helicopter , and some trenches. It was really fun and I really enjoyed the museum.
Here is the bad news. My ipod died. They call it the white screen of death. We can't fix it but hopefully the Mac Shop might :P. If not my ipod is dead for ever.

Hey guys.

Today was moving day.
We moved from Echuca to Wodonga. It was about a 3 hour drive. We did school work when we got here. The Wodonga park has a swimming pool, a tv room, and some swings. I have now finished the 6th Rangers Apprentice book and are now reading the third Artimes Fowl book. We are only staying here over night then we are going to Canberra.

Hey guys.

Today we went to The Golden Cow, and the Echuca Wharf.
The Golden Cow was really cool because we got to watch the cows get milked and got to feed the calves. It was really funny because one of the calves kept of nudging Andrew because it was trying to get more milk. Mum and Dad bought Andrew and I a milkshake each. We had 39 flavors to choose from.
We drove back to the caravan for lunch. Next we went to the Echuca Wharf museum to have a look at it. There was a movie filmed there (I don't know the name of it.) It was interesting to see some of the paddle steamers and the history of Echuca. After a short walk we arrived at the lolly shop. I bought a strawberry fanta and some lollies. We had lots of fun today.

Thanks cya ^^

Hey guys.

Today we went to the Pioneer Village.
On the drive there, we came across the Big Murry Cod. It was huge. The Pioneer Village was really cool because there was lots of history there, to see. There were historic buildings every where, you could go into the buildings and have a look at what life was like, there was an old car (that you could go for a drive in), and a horse and cart. It was really cool. Once we had finished looking at everything we went for a boat cruise up the Murry River. It was awesome but it started to rain.
Today we had lots of fun.

Hey guys.

Today we went to lock number 5 and the weir, the lookout tower, Banrock Station, and the adventure playground.
First we went to the lock and the weir. A lock helps boats up to higher water were the weir is damming the water. The lock works by opening one of the gates on one side then pumping water into the lock until the water is level with the water on the other side of the weir then they will pump the water out.
Next we went to the viewing tower in Berri. Yes Berri is the juice brand, Berri is named after the town Berri. There is a massive tower, there was an amazing view of Berri and all the land around it.
Then we drove up to Banrock Station. Mum and Dad bought some sparkling wine, then we went for a walk down to the bird hide (at Banrock Station), Dad saw a snake slithering under the board walk. We tricked Andrew into thinking there were swamp crocodiles. The rain clouds were up above us when we went to the adventure playground. There was so much there to do. There was a massive cable bridge, leaning towers, two massive swings, an even bigger swing kind of thing, wave bridges, smaller playgrounds, a kiosk, and a maze. The only bad thing was that they had taken down the massive flying fox. It was really fun. When we got back Andrew and I went for a swim. It was really cold but the pool was warmish. In the last 10 minutes of swimming before we went back to the caravan we claimed the spa. It was almost like a bath.

Hey guys.

Today we went for a bike ride McClaren Vale to Willunga. It was a 18 kilometer ride from McLaren Vale to Willunga and back. It was only 31 degrees today :) yay. Lol sorry, that is really cool compared with a few of the other days we have been here. It was really fun and we got to see lots and lots of vineyards. When we stopped for a break we all had a drink from a drinking fountain. The water tasted like grape juice :P. When we got to Willunga we all had a soft drink. After a long ride back Andrew and I had an ice cream. Later when we got back Andrew, Mum, and I went for a swim. The water was so cold, I wouldn't be surprised if there was ice cubes floating in the water.

Thanks

Hey guys.

Today we went for a drive down to Port Noarlunga, Cristys beach and there was a beach further down that we didn't know the name of. The first beach was pretty cool but no one was swimming there, so we didn't swim there. The next beach down was a lot better because there were some people swimming there. So we decided to swim. We were swimming until we saw a huge crab, Andrew skimmed across the water like a boat when he saw it. After that we kept on driving until we found a massive playground. When we got back to the caravan Andrew and I went for a quick ride. And are now writing our blogs. :)

Thanks
