Australia - free write

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.
