G'Day! I took the day off school to do a day trip yesterday up to the Pinnacles Desert. The Pinnacles are about 2 1/2 hours north of Perth so it was a pretty good drive. We started at Cavarsham Wildlife park where we got the behind the scenes tour on how they take care of animals. The park was closed so it was pretty neat to see everything. We got to check out the koalas and wombats and then feed the kangaroos. I even got to see a baby joey in the pouch. I gue...

Hello Everyone!Sorry it has been so long, I have been really busy. This weekend we had sundown at school. This is where the teachers all stay after school and drink. It is pretty crazy to open the fridge in the staff room and see beer and wine. After sundown, I headed to Fremantle Prison. The CMU students took a candle light tour of this prison. It was perfect for Friday the 13th. It was neat to see inside especially since it was only shut down in 1991 after riot...

After eating, we played games and discovered each othershidden talents o...

I am beginning to think Noah might be coming with his ark.This weekend was busy. Friday night we had a sleepover party. I had another CMU st...

Hello Everyone!I have returned from my trip to Margaret River. It was a 4 ½ hour drive down there, but totally worth it. It was fun riding on the bus with everyone, and we even got to make multiple stops along the way.After arriving at our hostel, we played an intense game of soccer and footie before heading for Lake Cave. It was amazing! I really liked the part where they turned all the lights off and then did a light show. The hostel was really simpl...
