Christmas Day

On christmas day mum and dad got me a nintendo DS. I was so excited, you can play dogs with it and I have got a labrador cross retriever type of dog. She is so cute , I put red bows in her hair and her name is Daisy. I've trained her to sit and sometimes she is a bit naughty and doesnt listen.

I also got a Hannah Montana autograph book and concert pass. I got some new bathers and they are very very very nice and a fun fairy annual book with lots of stuff to do in it.

We are in Apollo bay and we've seen a real wild platypus! Hope you all had a good christmas.

My Xmas Surfing Lesson

On Christmas we woke up early to find a christmas bag full of presents from Santa. Santa got us lots of interesting presents and mum and dad got us our dream present which is a Nintendo DS.

Our Nintendo is really fun, we have our own puppies. Late in the afternoon we went to the beach and brang Dads surf board and I was able to stand up and not fall off 2 times all the way to shore. It was my first time and I did really well.

We had a great sunny day NO RAIN. Dad went flying and we had lots of fun playing with our new toys.

Emilys first surfing lesson Apollo Bay.

Quick recap

Since the girls last posted we have been to the Blue lakes of Mt Gambier, old volcanoes! They have been mountain bike riding in Portland whilst waiting for the rainy weather to go away. Then we started our journey down the Great ocean road seeing some amazing coastline and the 12 Apostles. We have been staying in a place called Apollo Bay for a week and leave tomorrow. There are lots of things to see around here. The largest eucalypts mountain Ash, rainforest, fairies in the tree ferns, beaches, huge sting rays, lots of Koalas. The girls are going to tell you about their christmas.

Kangaroo Island

On kangaroo island i went to the koala walk. I spotted 2 koalas it was fun. On the next day I went to seal bay and saw some Australian Sealions. Two males were fighting over a female and she went in the water and the males chased after her. It was funny. You were allowed to touch a penguin but it was stuffed. When we went on the boardwalk there was a big whale skeleton. My favourite part of the island was a beach that was like a clear swimming pool called Stokes bay and you had to walk through a cave to get to it. We had a sea snail race and saw some big and little fish. When we went fishing a dolphin went right under the jetty but we didnt get a photo. When we got back from Kangaroo island we saw some dolphins surfing the waves at Tunkanilla.
