Burning Red Rock in Australia and Didgeridoos

Dear family and friends,

We are in Australia now and it is really hot outside. It is the biggest "island" in the world and there's lots of cool stuff to do here.

Australian art of kangaroos in front of Ayers rock, made out of dots.

We made didgeridoos out of paper and we used the colours that most represent Australia, like white, brown, and red. A didgeridoo is a long hollow branch from a tree and they decorate them, and perform music with it.

In Australia there is a big rock called the Ayers rock. It is a big rock in the middle of the desert. It is really red when the sun rises and the sun sets. It looks really cool and we would love to visit it.

The Great Barrier Reef is bigger than you expected. Blue starfish live there. People use pollution that is warming up the water and killing the coral on the reef. We are trying to help sea turtles because lots of people are killing them. We made new turtles out of tin foil, cut them out, and stuck on out ocean paintings. Check them out!

Thanks for reading!

From,

Dylan and Emma
