Hello to Emma's Class




Hello to everyone,


We have been travelling in Australia for 7 weeks now and have driven about 4000 kilometres.




We have been in some big cities like Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra (the Capital,) Melbourne. We skipped Adelaide and came to Port Augusta via Broken Hill . Can you find all these places on the map? Also do you know the States that go with all the cities? See if you can find out what is mined in Broken Hill?




Some of the animals and birds we have seen are Camels, Emus, Kangeroos Kookaburas, Cockatoos, Galahs. Australia is much bigger than New Zealand and I am sending the class a postcard that shows you the difference of the sizes of the 2 countries.

We are both enjoying sharing your experiences and are staggered to realise that you are already seven weeks into your trip.
Keep including the amount of detail that you are sharing with us as it is this element that makes your blog so enjoyable to follow.
We have just had a break in Dorset, (our annual pilgrimage) and have come back fully relaxed.
However, if I could ever get Barb on a plane, I would love to emulate your trip of a lifetime.
Dave and Barb.
