I wake up with the yhi in my eyes and i moan. I get up and i hear a yelp from my mahthi, so run outside. For some reason he was stuck up in the dead yaraan. So i climb up get him down. I was hungry so i went and got my nullah nullah and my moonoon. i went out searching for a goonur when i run into a pack of wild dingos. I thought the best thing to do was to attack but they all show their ear moonan and i pause. As i stand there one jumps on my back and i swing my nullah nullah and hit him in the head.  i grab a maimah i heave it towards one but it missed and then it attacked, but something hit it. i look up at the hill and i see a group of gooeea. They saved me. They were noongahburrahs and i decided to them dheal seeds to thank them. They accepted and then left. I saw a goonur by the dungle and i threw my moonoon. It stuck. so i ran over to get my prize, but unfortunately it was actually a goomai. So i took it home and cooked it but it was a disappointing meal. i decided to go to town and find some meainei but all the ones i saw were so womba. So i said yuckay and decided today was not my day

It seems that in Australia they is a clear separation between city and country. I could see form both Shane's and Shannon's writing that this was clear. It seemed like the people either lived and worked in the city or lived and worked on a ranch. The city kids had real teachers while the kids out in the bush had a teacher through the radio. I learned some good facts like Australians dominate the tennis world and that they are one of the most musical but harder to understand people in the world.

australia- land and resources

The Land

Australia is a special country because it is also a continent. It has more than 12,000 miles of
coastline. It is home to one of the spectacular natural wonders in the world, The Great Barrier Reef. Due to millions of years of erosion Australia is the flattest continent in the world. The central lowlands holds Australia's most lushish farm lands along with the Great Artesian Basin which is 670,000 square miles of underground water.

The Climate
Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere which means our winter is there summer and vise versa. They usually enjoy Christmas by spending time on the beach having a picinic. It is never to cold there to enjoy outdoor activities. The Rainfall varies from 40 inches to 10 inches.

Plants and Animals

Australia is home to many different types of plants and trees

of all shapes and sizes. Some familiar ones might be The eucalyptus trees and it is home to the tallest hardwood tree in the world. this land is home to marsupials which carry their babies in pouches like kangaroos and the best animal ever next to a panda bear the koala bear. Their are also dingos platypuses and buffalos.

The Resources

The great land of Australia holds a vast abundancy of natural mineral resources. They are found on the exposed rocks that occur over much of the continent. They also have offshore drilling for oil. Although they have many mineral resources they lack the most important resource of all, water. But they obtain most of there money through wool exportation and that is why they sometimes say, "Australia travels on the sheep's back."

its a big island surrounded by water and it is a country and a continent all in one which kind of makes it like a value pack. it is the home of the greatest living organism, the great barrier reef

which is also the home of many, many fish. i hear it is a pretty good surf spot and the beaches are nice. it was also the home of steve irwin the crocodile hunter, who recently died. it also is the home of dingos, kangaroos, and koala bears. those animals all have cool names and id like to meet some of them someday. my dad once went to australia for some military thing. he says its hot. there is a lot of desert out there too and the water drains the other way since it is in the southern hemisphere.  the really cool opera house is located there and its in sydney.
