G'day everyone,

Yesterday wasa another busy day, we went to australia zoo which took 3 1/2 hours by bus and train and seemed like we were travelling forever into the middle of nowhere. Along the way we saw the glasshouse mountains and when we got there we were quite excited coz Steve Irwin worked there!! We started off in the Kangaroo enclosure, u could walk through and they were all bouncing around, we fed them by hand and sat chillin wit them lol, they were really tame! we then walked through koala way where u could stroke them, later on we also held them where charlotte was in her element!! we also saw crocs, snakes, tigers, wombats, elephants and many more!! we went on the shuttle round the park ate ice cream and had a really gd time! Saw the memorial to steve irwin which was quite sad! On the way bk we got stranded in some sleepy town called landsbourough was like something out of a film! the train journey bk was an experience as the seats were like single reclining sofas so comfy, char fell aslepp then when the loudspeaker went off she leapt out her skin soooo funny!! Got home had spag bowl for dinner, played few games of pool then crashed out!!

Today was a lovely day weather got up 2 29 degrees which is the best so far considering its the middle of winter!! We were woken up 2 do our chores charlotte was not impressed as cleaning was on the agenda although she rose to the occassion and can now use a hoover, claire was in her element!! After that Jackie our ozzy mum took us to Manly which is the oz equivalent to worthing, had a huge harbour where we sat for a bit looking out for dolphins that can be seen!! Jackie then took us 2 a really nice restaurant for lunch overlooking the harbour! This afternoon we took the 2 dalmations nelly and libby for a walk into bulimba, we ran round the park with them then we collapsed lol!! we were given poo bags hoping we wouldnt need them but nelly who claire was holding decided to deliver a weeks worth of crap for claire was so funny watchin her trying to pick it up, charlotte was stood watching she just laughed and her dog didnt go once!! This eve eaten KFC which is def better than uk's. Over the past few days charlotte has said some rather comical things here is a few:

"Wow claire look at the sun, no charlotte its the light on the wing of the plane".

If u lose ur luggage for more than 24hrs u get acomplimentary wash bag, Claire said to charlotte "omg look u get a life jacket with it, charlotte replied" OMG really, why"?

There were some insects swimming on the pool charlotte then said omg wats all that swirling i then informed her that it was just the pump!!

What a comedian!!(Dumbass).
