On Thursday I went to the Aquarium and I saw a Sawfish in the tunnel and a sting ray. Then we went to the turtle talk and we got to go to the turtle hospital. One was a very endangered turtle. People were taking their shells and making them in to jewellery. The turtles were in big tanks.
???Did you know???? The Green Sea Turtle is called 'green' because it has green flesh. This is because they eat mostly green sea grass!

Billabong Sanctuary - Abbey

On Sunday the 25th of April we went to Billabong Sanctuary. There was a whoppin' great big croc called Jaws and he was MASSIVE! He was about over 2 meters! I'm guessing 'cause I forgot how big the fella said he was. They left Jaws' cage door open which scared me heaps.The pic is of Jaws' 4th and only living girlfriend. He killed his other 3! Jaws is way bigger than his girlfriend so that might give you an idea of how big he is. There was a cassowary and I got to feed him.The fella said that cassowaries don't attack with their head things, they attack with their big toes. The toe has this BIG claw that could probably rip you open! Ouch! Then we went to my favourite part. The reptile handling! I got to hold a baby croc! (But I noticed that it's jaws were sticky taped together, and that took some of the fun out of it) Then I got to hold an olive python! His name is Ollie.(Not the most original name!) He is 'bout as long as 2 adults. The lady said that he had never bitten anyone before but there is always a first time for everything and this could be your unlucky day. That just made me want to hold him more! It was SOOOOOOOOOO fun! The lady let me have another go! I think that most of the other people were scared out of their wits!

Frog - Clare

At tea time I saw a frog. It was funny because he had his hand's sitting on the louvers like a news reader. A few days later I went to the Strand for a scoot with Uncle Scott and I saw some birds. I saw a rainbow lorikeet.

Bushwalk - Abbey

On the 26th of April we went on a bushwalk to Cloudy Creek. It was a 4 kilometre walk including return. There was a lovely little pool in the sun (On the right). In the shallow part the water was about ankle height and in the deep part it was about as deep as my chest. (I didn't go into the deep because I didn't have a spare change of clothes) Then we walked back to the cars. After that we drove to Crystal Creek and had a swim (On the left). There was a bit where


the water pulled you down a little waterfall thing. It only went down about 2 feet and pulled you over a few smooth bumps then plopped you into a slightly deeper part. It was really fun.

Pet Shop - Clare

We went to the pet shop. I saw some parrots. I liked the princess parrot the most. It was funny when one of the parrots tried to eat the newspaper. They are cute. We saw a baby python and a lizard and some fish. There were turtles for sale. They were cute but they cost $99.

Barramundi - Clare

On Sunday we went fishing some Aboriginal ladies. They caught a Rock Cod. I thought it was a big fish. And then, they caught a HUGE Barramundi. Michelle was sitting by the water on a chair when she felt a big tug on the line. Her fishing line flew into the water. Mum helped her get it out. When she was pulling it it looked like he line would snap. Then it came a bit closer and closer until it was really close. Then we saw it everyone said "Wow!". She got it out and a nice man was fishing next to us. He pulled the Barramundi by its mouth. We took it home.
