New Zealand

We are now in the south island of New Zealand. It is very beautiful. There are lots of mountains, lakes and rivers.

We are travelling around New Zealand in a camper van. It is Autumn here and it's a bit cold!

Young people in New Zealand like to do extreme sports! We floated down this river on surf boards! The waves were very high. We went very fast!

Other young people like to do bungee jumping. It was very high and looked scary.

Our favourite bit so far was our day walking on the Fox Glacier.

Syndey

This week, we have visited Sydney. Sydney is a big city on the east coast of Australia.

Sydney is famous for its big harbour bridge.
It is also famous for Sydney Opera House. It is very beautiful.

In Sydney, young people like to go surfing. It looks very difficult.

Other people like to stay fit by jogging in the park. We saw lots of young and old people jogging.

Our favourite place was the aquarium. I liked the seals.

We got to watch the seals swim in an underwater tunnel.

Paul liked the sharks best. They were a bit scary when we saw them underwater!

Perth

We are now in Perth. Perth is a big city in Australia. This is a photo of Perth.


Australia is a lot like England. People speak English and live in houses like ours in England. All children go to school. Tap water is clean and safe to drink.

It is winter here, but it is still very warm. It was warm enough to try water skiing!

In Australia they have huge trees called Tingles. Look how small Paul looks!

They have lots of different animals that we don't have in England. We have seen dolphins.

I liked feeding the kangaroos.

The koalas look very cuddly and are always sleeping!
