Next we went to a town called Mooloolaba and we stayed in our friend Dick & Liz's apartment. It was very close to the beach and the boogie boarding there was the best I have ever done in my life ... I loved it. We also went to Underwater World, where there were tons of cool and interesting fish. They had awesome anemones and a long moray eel swimming through holes in the coral. There was even a fish that looked like a pineapple!
We also spent a day at the Australia Zoo, which is known for its crocodiles and Australian animals. Australia has lots of animals that are found no place else in the world, like kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, koalas, and wombats. Australia Zoo had all types of endangered animals and they work really hard to tell people what they should do to protect and help take care of them.
My favorite baby koala that was being raised at the animal hospital was named Maxine. Maxine was so cute and once she's 4 kilograms, which is about 9 pounds, they're going to put a tracking device on her so they can still check up on here once they put her back into the wild to live. They'll put her someplace safe with lots of eucalyptus trees for her to eat.










Your adventure looks amazing! I've been reading your blog since the summer and I've enjoyed all of your entries. Happy and Healthy New Year to all!
