Great Barrier Reef and Last week in Oz!

The Great Barrier Reef was awesome! It was so pretty! The town Cairns (pronounced cans) was so cute! and Green Island was gorgeous!

I have lots of plans for this last week in Australia and I have already been to many places around town that I wanted to see for the last time! Now on to New Zealand and then home for the holidays!!

My Birthday In Australia!

My birthday in Australia was so much fun! Me and Lauri went to the oldest chinese temple in Australia and walked around there, then we had lunch at observatory park and went to the QVB! Then we took the ferry home and made dinner for the family! At the end of dinner Jon (my host dad) brought out home made tiramisu and it was so good! They put candles on top for me to blow out! Then my roomies gave me gifts! It was so fun! Saturday night I spent the night at Gails girls house and we watched Finding Nemo and found it to be ten times funnier because they got the Australian saying down so well! And we have seen all those fish at the aquarium! And soon me and Jen will see them in real life at the reef!

We found Jelly Fish in Parramatta River!

Free concerts, fiestas and the Aquarium!

Sunday we went to catholic church and it was so pretty I really wanted to take pictures but inside you weren't allowed but heres a picture of the outside.


Then Monday was Labor day here so we had the day and the Sunrise news station was having a concert series like what the today show has and we went and saw Kelly Clarkson for free preform for the news! We were right in the front!

then we met the news casters which was like meeting Matt and Meredith! And they gave autographs and the man news casters has a brother who lives in Louisville and owns a horse racing race! He told me the name but I don't remember it now!
Then we went to the Aquarium and saw all kinds of awesome fish! They were all Australian fish and they glowed in dark or were transparent it was so cool!
Then we went to a Latin fiesta downtown and saw dancing singing and all sorts of crafts! 

Ill put more pictures up on facebook but I have class right now so I can't finish uploading!
