camping in the outback

April 30



Hi everyone, I know I haven’t written in a while but we have been driving non-stop. We rented this campervan and it is kind of cool. It has a DVD player so we aren’t completely bored out of our minds. Yesterday we stopped on the side of the road were there are supposed to be lots of kangaroos. When we got there we saw 15 or 20 of them and I went about 3 feet away from them. They were so cool but the weren’t the red kangaroo so they weren’t that big. We also saw lots of emus. They were huge. Hopefully in couple of days we will go to this town where there are koalas running around everywhere. I really want to see and hold a koala. Today we are going opal mining. If we find a good one which they often do they could be worth thousands. One man there found a 40 thousand dollar one. Well wish us luck cheers.

Yesterday we drove from the opal place to a town called Gunnedah. That is the place were the all the koalas are suppose to be. On the way we saw a red kangaroo in the wiled. It was very big. In Gunnedah we only saw one koala but we did see one. Her we also saw flocks of thousands of parrots and cockatiels. At night in every tree there are a bunch of them.
