Mr. and Mrs. Radwanski on the beach in Geelong, this is where we will teach, but we are still on summer holidays until January 29th. Temperatures are around 30 to 40 degrees Celcius. Geelong has harbour and was a port of much trading when Australia was first being formed. Australia Day is July 26th, this is the day that they celebrate Captain Phillip started a city in 1788 with 1500 people aboard his ship. However, around 700 of those people were convicts and had been sentenced to go prison. Some had only stolen a loaf of bread to feed their family. Captain Cook is said to have discovered Australia, but he went back to Britain and told them of a lush and wonderful country. When Captain Philip arrived, it was barren and dry. Those are the two seasons of Australia, winter, lush and wet, summer, barren and dry. Australia is the only nation in the world that started as a prison. 10 of the world's most poisonous snakes live here and 5 of the most lethal creatures in the world; funnel web spider, box jelly fish, blue ringed octopus, paralysis tick and the stonefish!!Friday, January 11, 2008
