Brisbane, Sydney, Tasmania, Melbourne, Geelong: Australia

Places We Have Visited -December 2018-

What did we enjoy about this place?

Dad

I loved seeing the Blue Mountains because I had never seen them before. I also liked visitng Brisbane and going to the glow worm caves. I liked how they glowed in the dark. I loved the big bus Tour in Sydney because we got to see some unique things, like a building that had moss growing all over it. I liked being able to see my aunt that lives in Australia and we got to stay with her and celebrate Christmas and the New Year's with her and her family.

I really loved visiting Australia. Before we were married my husband got to go and spend a few months visiting his aunt. He brought back some awesome pictures of places that got me so intrigued to want to visit. The pictures for sure did not do the place justice. It was even more beautiful than the pictures could reveal. I loved the beaches and feeling the cool breeze from the ocean. I loved the sea shells that I found because I had never seen these type of sea shells. I loved being able to hold a koala and getting to see a kangaroo up close. I had pictured in my head kangaroos a bit differently than what they were up close. They looked more like over grown frogs than a cute fluffy huggable animal that I had assumed they would be. I loved doing the two ghost tours we did. One was in Tasmania at an old prison and the other was in Geelong also at another old prison.

I liked visiting all the scary prisons. It was awesome learning more about a country that was built off of exiles. I also liked being able to watch "Into the Spider-Verse" with my brothers and cousins. It had been awhile since we had seen a movie in a movie theater so it was cool to experience that again. I liked going on the Big Bus in Sydney because I like being able to hear the information that the recording has about each location.

Australia had so many beaches that I loved seeing and also feeling the ocean waves with my feet. My favorite place that we visited in Australia was Tasmania, this is because it felt like a small village on an island so it had a comforting feeling being there. Everywhere else we visited in Australia me and my brothers always got a chicken parm at almost every single resturant we went to and it was delicious.

I liked being able to see the kangaroos and we were able to see them up close and not from far away. I liked that I got to hold a Koala because I got to hold it while it was eating. It wasnt as soft of an animal as they appear to be. Their fur is rough and not soft. I liked being in our hotel and we were able to buy Little Caesars pizza. I liked doing a ghost tour at an old prison on Tasmania because it was at night so it made it feel even scarier!
