My Favorites

Hello Everyone!!

Now that we are all back in the United States I thought I would share some of my favorite moments of the the trip with you. But before I do that I would like to say that Australia is an amazing place and if you ever get the opportunity to travel there in your future take it. (Or if you get the opportunity to travel to any other country it's worth going to.)

This is a picture of Sara and I at the Cricket game. I tired to find a picture of just the cricket field but I couldn't. But going to the cricket game was one of my favorite things to do during the trip. I enjoy sports so when we got a chance to watch a sport in another country I jumped at the opportunity to go to the game. And Sydney beat Perth that match so it was a nail biting game to go to.

This is a banner I saw hanging on Australia Day. Personally, I loved that throughout our time in Australia that we got to learn about the Aboriginals. It's important for Australia as well as us to recognize that Australia's first inhabitants weren't the criminals from Great Britain but the aboriginals themselves. I enjoyed learning about there culture, history, and how far they have come today. Also getting to learn how to dance in Yarrabah and watching the aboriginal dances on Survival Day (this is what aboriginals call Australia Day) will be a memory I will never forget.

This is a picture of Rex! He is a HUGE crocodile that lives in the Sydney Zoo. Although he was the biggest crocodile I saw during my time in Australia, I truly enjoyed learning about them and trying to spot them out in Cairns on the Daintree River. Learning about all the animals of Australia throughout our time down there was interesting. Kangaroos, Cassowary, Crocodiles, and Jellyfish were some of the animals I found to be interesting to learn about.
