Dear room 5😃

Hello from Australia, We had a great trip on the plane. At the moment we are in Kalbarri. Tomorrow we are off to a parrot zoo, then we want to go abseiling in a gorge! The house we stayed in in the outback was down a red dirt road about 3km long. Kangaroos roam right up to the house and occasionally get hit by cars. We passed lots on the side of the road. Tonight three kangaroos were less than 3 metres away. As we travel higher we see more and more people swimming in the Indian Ocean. Huge ships waited in the channel outside Geraldton trying to unload their iron ore. One thing from history we saw today was a convict station. People sent from Australia for small crimes were sent here and forced to work for nothing! One weird animal we have seen wandering around are echidna. They are weird little creatures with spikes all over that come out at night. Should I mention that ants and spiders are huge over here? Photographs next time. From Mrs Gibbs
