Soccer Boy Red Elephant

James Blog  16 Oct. 16

Today we went along the Great Ocean Road and the twelve Apostles they where beautiful and there is only nine left.  We went for a walk to look at them .  There was  about 5 stations and you could see heaps of selfie sticks.  There was big cliffs that had different colours on them and there was heaps of Red Helicopters as well.  We walked down 82 steps onto the beach we saw the big cliffs and the sand was very soft.  When I looked up at the cliffs I felt very small even though I am small.  It was a good view down from the beach at one of the apostles.

The next day was  October 15, we went to the cape Otway Lighthouse, we got to go inside and when we got up the top it was like a hurricane.  I felt like I was in the storm when I was at Coffin Bay.  Then we came back down and had lunch and a hot chocolate.   And there was an Aboriginal guy who said on the other side of the possum fur they paint a story about their future.

There has been lots of Koala Bears in Kennet River I even got to pat one.  We got to feed bird at the park,  They looked like parrots , they where green , red and a bit orangy.

Today we went to a waterfall it was very big we crossed big rocks to the otherside, it was very rainforesty.  I feel over but I saved my dads phone.  It was a good day.

Sunday 9 October

We saw the boats come in with Lobsters, one of the boats caught 4 boxes of Lobsters and in those 4 boxes of Lobsters they where going to sell them for $8000.  They weigh the Lobsters after they come of the boat, then they get put in a truck and then they get flown to China or they get taken to a fresh Lobster place in Robe where they get put in tanks.  We got to taste a Lobster , I dont know what all the who hah of this posh Lobster is, it dosn't really taste like anything.

The next day we went to an aquarium I got to feed a Port Jackson Shark and see a barramundi and a ginormous Crab.  And it was called a King Crab.  Did you know that there is 25 species of Nemo's and there was a Murray Cod and some other Lobsters.  There was a Banjo Shark it dosn't have any teeth and the Port jackson and the Banjo Shark, is blind so they have to eat by smell.  There was a baby Banjo Shark, we saw him eat he sucked it up like the other ones.  I patted them they felt like sandpaper.

I watched an outdoor movie it was "Up" it was really funny and good.

Its a bit windy today but its ok.

At Hahndorf there where lots of community shops, there was  a big chocolate factory and I had a caramel and lime fredo frogs.The fredo frogs tasted really yummy.

At Tumby Bay  we walked out on a nice sunset jetty, it was all nice.
Then we went to Coffin Bay and went to a national park with lots of Emu's Kangaroo's and Lizards and the we had another really good sunset. Then the next day turned into a hurricane.  We had no power for 2 and half days.  At Night we had to use a candle and me and dad slept on the kitchen table and mum and sporty elephant slept on the floor.  Then we found a yacht club what was a rescue shelter and we had dinner and lunch there.  I had hot chips 3 nights in a row and it was the warmest place to be.

Then we arrived at Streaker bay.  We saw some Seals and the Great Australian bight.  The Australian Bight is really beautiful and the water is the best.

Then we went to Port Augusta and we had dinner there and then had a nice icescream. Then we went to Burra.  The first town we came through was Wilmington but I would call it a ghost town.

Then we went to a train museum and saw 12 different trains one was a hospitsl train, one was a first class train, one was a second class train and lots of others.  And I saw a car on the train tracks it moved really fast .

We drove along through Jamestown, then we arrived at Burra.

First 2 weeks

I did pottery at Bendigo, my first one worked out well. My second one not so well.

Then we went to the Golden dragon place and there was lots of Chinese dragons, then we went to the Chinese gardens and feed the fishies.

We went to Stawell and we stayed one night and we where on a river/lake there was a little island with a swans nest .

Then we went to Naracoorte and we went to the caves , we went in the bat cave, we had to watch the bats on camera .  We wheren’t allowed to cave in the cave as the bat poo was toxic and too dangerous. We went in another cave that was really cool.  The bat poo was called guano and the baby bats called pups.

We went to a lagoon that had 150 species of birds and 1 species of echidna and we saw the echidna.  It was a bit shy then he got his groove and ran along the fence.

Then we went to Adelaide we are near the airport.  The F111 is home in Adelaide.  We went to the maritime museum and there was a lighthouse that had 76 steps. Then the next day we went to the Adelaide oval.  We got to go into the old scoreboard and a famous cricketer called Sir Don Bradman he played at the Adelaide Oval and he practising batting by throwing the ball at a water tank and hitting it back with a stick.

The next day we went to the Zoo.  I saw a Panda bear and a Hippopotamus.  And lots more animals.  The Panda was really cute and the Hippopotamus was really fat.

I went to this Soccer shop and you couldn’t even see the walls, because they where covered in jerseys.  For all the soccer fans out there I recommend you go there. I bought a Real Madrid banner.  In the soccer shop there was soccer bubble heads, champions league trophy,  Naymar, Messi and Ronaldo’s signature, and Grizmann signatures.
