WARNING: Follow the Warning Signs

G'day,

This week has been extremely exciting and I have been doing a lot of fun stuff and seeing a lot of things. I went on the tram to the city. It was quite an adventure. My friend and I did the tourist shopping thing for a bit and then we took some pictures of art centres and the river, which is gorgeous at night when it is all lit up (picture on the left).

On my way home on the tram there was a problem with the track and so we had to switch trams and get on another one that would take us home via a different route. It was a bit nerve-racking since I was alone on this tram but I made it safe and sound; I just followed the massive crowd.

The next day we went on a road trip to see the ocean. I absolutely love the blue water. It was a nice ride, the roads had crazy turns, worse than 1st Peninsula, Nova Scotia. Then we went to see the falls. It was incredible. We decided to climb down and see the whole falls and it was amazing. It reminded me of a rainforest. The trees were incredibly tall and there were fern trees all over the place. There was a sign that warned about snakes, slippery terrain and shallow water and to be careful going beyond a certain point. We kept going on our way and I kept my eyes open for snakes. No worries I didn’t see any, however, I did manage to slip on a rock covered in algae and fell down in the middle of the river. I was soaked and covered in algae. I now have a nicely coloured bruise on my back.

Yesterday I went to the zoo and got to see a wombat, a dingo, a young Tasmanian devil (which are extremely fast), a koala, a platypus and emus. I also got to pet a kangaroo and a wallaby, which practically climbed on top of me looking for any food I might have. They are so adorable and soft animals. I want one for a pet, hehe.

Well, that is about all the exciting news for now. Just make sure you follow the warning signs or you just might fall flat on your face.
