Yesterday we went to the Migration Museum. We learnt a lot about people that have settled in Australia. I thought it was very unfair that if you were black you had to pass a test that was basically impossible, because it was in a completely irrelevant language. If you were white you got in easily.
After that we went to the art gallery. There was an Aboriginal exhibition that was very interesting. At the beginning there were life-sized models of Aussie animals. Some of them were completely stuffed, and some only had bits of fur on them. I thought that was gross.

Wednesday

Yesterday we went to the mall. It is HUGE!!! (I do not like big malls at all.) We got some food for my Australian Meals (a homework project I am doing) and collected some other useful bits and pieces. I am still having lots of fun.

In Adelaide

I am in Adelaide, having a great time. I have signed up to the local library, which has lots of good books. We are living by the beach, which is nice as we don't have a very big backyard. We also don't have email, so sorry if you've tried to contact me and got no reply. I will try to access them on the internet.
We went to the market on Saturday. It is very big, and we got cheap, delicious feta cheese. We also went to a friend of Dad's on Sunday, and had a great time. I am having loads of fun.

We're About to Go!!!

I have finally packed. Now all I have to do is get on the plane and plan my hand luggage. I have also done most of my homework that will have to be done in advance. I will have a great time.
We also have a house! It is a two bedroom townhouse very close to the beach.

Nearly time to go!

I am about to set off to Adelaide, and am very excited. I have taken lots of homework to do but it is not enough to keep myself fully ocupied during my stay, so I will have to do touristy things as well. (YAY!!) I will have a great time, but will miss my friends.
