On 9th June, we went to Australia for 11 days. We went to the airport at 6. We ate at Pizza Hut at 7 and took about half an hour to finish. The plane left at 9.30. I was very excited! When the plane left, my father let me eat a sweet. The plane took about 7 hours to reach Australia.
When I was out of the airport, it was freezing cold! My mother called her relative who lives in Australia. Later we met our aunt to go to have breakfast. I ate scrambled eggs. After we ate breakfast, we went grocery shopping. We bought a lot of things. Then we went to a camper van park to stay for 2-3 days. We took about 2- hour nap. Then we woke up for dinner. After dinner, my family watched 'Harry Potter'. Later we went to sleep.

The next day, I was extremely tiered! I woke up at 9.30 and almost slept on the sofa! That morning we ate bread and then went out to play. We were going to meet my sister's kindergarten friend but they changed their mind to meet at Moonlit Sanctuary.
The Moonlit Sanctuary was a big success! We got to feed wallabies, see animals such as kangaroos, koalas, dingoes and owls. I felt happy. In the afternoon, we ate fish and potato cakes. Then we went to buy fishing baits. We went to the jetty for a while, then went to play the big playground. Then we went to eat dinner. Them kids chose pizza the adults chose pasta.
Then we went to the night sanctuary again to have the night walk. We saw animals awake but some animals were asleep. We also saw possums, rats and birds. After the walk, my father bought me and my sister ice cream althought it was freezing. Then we went to the camper van park to show, brush teeth and sleep.

Next morning, I woke up at 11. I sat at the sofa for a while, then went to eat breakfast. We ate bread and went to play outside. After playing outside, we rushed to take the steam train and almost got lost.
The steam train was fun! We could stick our heads out of the windows. After the ride, we went to the morning (Mornington Market) to shop and eat lunch. I ate a big sausage for lunch. My sister ate a burger. My father bought a wind charm. Before the lunch, my mother let us do painting. I chose a dinosaur picture, my sister chose a unicorn picture. Then we went to Bayside Shopping Centre to shop. We bought lots of things such as boots. Then we went back for dinner. After dinner, we went to play pingpong. Then we went back to sleep.

Next day, I was going to the farm to stay. We quickly packed and jumped into the car and ready to go to the farm. On the way to our farm, we visited another farm. My sister and I fed the chickens. My father bought ice- cream. ( they actually spent quite a while petting all the lambs and calves and feeding them)
It took about 2 hours to reach. When we reached our farm, we went to our cottage. Then my father spotted a swing. My sister and I ran over to the swing but my sister got there first. For dinner we ate noodles. Then I did my journal then my mother let us watch 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid'. It was a nice show. Then we went to sleep.
Note: He totally missed out his 1st motorcycle ride and our walk through the wild bushes to reach Cape Liptrap which was itself a wonderful experience for the kids because it was almost virgin land.

Next day, I woke up about 7.30 ate breakfast then went to uncle Donald's house. We met uncle Ros at uncle Donald's house. After we went to the house, uncle Donald and uncle Ros herd their cows then went to another farm to herd the cows again. This time they chased the cows. We went back to uncle Donald's house then we went to eat lunch. There was a fishing pond ( it's actually a river). I learnt how to cast the fishing rod. After that we went to uncle Ros house to pick p a charger then went back to uncle Donald's farm. We went to feed the cows. There was a lot of cow dung. It was disgusting. Luckily I wore my boots.
Again we went back to uncle Donald's farm to say the last goodbye. Then we went back to our cottage and uncle Donald's mother, grandma Dorethy came to have a talk. Then we went to sleep.

Next day, I woke up at at 8.90 we ate cereals, said bye to grandma Dorethy, then head of to Wilson's Promontory for a 2-hours walk. When we entered we saw lots of animals! There was kangaroos and emus. We walked to beach and I was the first one to reach the beach! I saw an emu walking one the water. I called my father and my father came. We played and took pictures then walk back. I was very excited because after Wilson's Promontory we went to Mt Baw Baw!
Mt Baw Baw was in the mountains! There were snow everywhere! but we had to buy food because my mother was cooking for us. Then we reached there about 6.00. When I touched the snow, it had turned to ice. I asked my mother, "Why did the snow turn to ice?" My mother said, "That is last week's snow." We called somebody to pick us up to our hotel. The hotel was beautiful. There was a kitchen for my mother to cook, tv and a cupboard full of toys. There was a double deck bed! We ate pasta for dinner. After dinner, my father set a fire at the fire place and went to sleep.

The next day, I was very excited! We were going to ski! We ate cereals for breakfast, played toboggan and went to take a break ready to go and ski. We went to the place my mother rented toboggan and rented skis there.
The first time I skied I fell down a few times. The last time,I broke my record. We went to bring back the ski we rented. After that time, our friends had arrived. We went to eat dinner. After dinner we went to lay iPad, then we went to sleep.

Then we too about 2 hours to reach our cottage ( actually we also did some grocery shopping along the way). The cottage was very big! The living room had a kitchen and a tv, the bathroom had a jacuzzi! I wanted to tho to the jacuzzi immedietly. But my mother said no. After that we went to sleep.

The next day we ate cereals again. Then we went shopping at a place called Anaconda. After shopping we went to eat lunch. Then we went shopping again. We shopped until dinner time.....
Note: the rest is history cos we came back to Singapore and he did not think it necessary to write anymore. Anyway the last 3 days was a flurry of activities which comprised mainly of food and shopping. The 4 kids happily played their games and entertained themselves whilst the adults went about their bargain hunts at DFOs and warehouses.
*The spelling mistakes are not typo errors but genuine mistakes made by him. So are some of the weird sentence structures and punctuations. Most of the entries were done in the evening and since he was more or less ' coerced' into writing (our only condition for the trip), you can tell that he merely wanted to get it over and done with so that he can have more time to play, thus resulting in undeveloped and skimpy descriptions of the various activities. Hopefully he will cultivate more pride in his future writings after reading these entries.
