Hello Mommy

I have safely arrived in Australia and am with my host Sam now. The first thing Sam said when she saw me was "oh, you are a cutie" then she said hello!
I wasn't alone in the post box while i was waiting to be collected. A dinosaur named Rex was there too. He was already out of his travel bag (that's a long story) so he kept me company and told me all about his adventures.

It was a long drive from the post office to Sam's house. We drove on several different roads. A proper road, a sandy road/track through the forest, a red dirt road/track then finally up the track that led to the house.








I'm off to do some exploring and find some food. I'm so hungry.

I miss you but i know i'm going to have lots of fun.
Big hugs to you

Hi!

After we arrived at Sams home we met 2 other TV's who are visiting here. Ducky-duck and Roberto.
We had a group photo with them!



I hope we are going to have some fun adventures with them!

Hugs

Surprise!

Tonight we went to Sam's neighbours for dinner, that wasnt the exciting part, we saw........Kangaroos!!! Yes, in the wild, well in the neighbours back yard. These roos live in the wild but every night they come to have a nibble on some wheat they neighbours leave out on the grass for them. It was exciting to get close to these animals. We had to be really quiet and stand very still. Sam took lots of photos, some were blurry and some were really good, i think she was as excited as we were!

This is the 1st attempt of getting a photo with a kangaroo. Its really blurry sorry. Seeing them for real was sooo much better then the photos show.



This one is where we got closer and a little less blurry.[/ color]

Hello

Today we drove to Hamilton, about an hour and a half from Sam's home.
The view on the way there was beautiful. Lots of green and brown paddocks, hills, blue skies!





When we arrived at Hamilton, we went to visit Sam's husband in hospital.



We had fun exploring the different things in the room. We even got to have a little sleep on the bed!









We then went to the arts centre to see what performances where showing. Unfortunately nothing was on at the time we were there.



Love and Miss you

Hi!

Today Sam's daughter had a playdate at her friends house so we got to have a playdate at the play park! But 1st we took a couple of tourist photos.
This is me sitting on an emu statue in front of the information centre in Casterton.



This is the post office where us TV's arrive and depart from.



This is me in a gum tree with the Glenelg River behind me. Not much water in the river at the moment, there hasn't been much rain at all this year.



Then it was time to PLAY!! Having a swing with friends is much more fun then doing it on your own.



Slip Sliding around was fun too but each time we slid down the slide Sam was too slow in getting a photo, hehe.



Behind us is the play equipment, it looks like a big long train!



We then has a leaf fight, throwing leaves at each other was lots of fun and we laughed alot!



I had a fun day today, now i'm really sleepy.

Hello!

Last Saturday we headed off to a small country town named Koroit for an Irish Festival. Ohhh we were sooo excited but half way through our journey it started to pour with rain.. The festival was washed out but we did manage to see a couple of interesting sights before the organizers packed up everything.
This is the street of the festival, it should have been full of stalls and entertainment.



The music was good. We danced and clapped along.



The rain stopped just long enough for the dancers to come out and do some Irish dancing.

We then drove to Warnambool to do some shopping. On our way we saw this Dragon. Not quite sure what it is for but we had a close look and it’s on wheels, has stairs up the back of it and blows real smoke from it’s nostrils





Then we came across the milk factory. This is where all the dairy farmers send their milk each day and night after they have milked their cows. The milk is then processed, put into cartons and distributed all around Australia! This is only one of many milk factories in Australia though.



I really had an enjoyable day despite the rain.

Hello!

Sam had to take her girls into school this morning. They were supposed to catch the bus but the bus broke down. Unfortunately we weren’t with Sam so we didn’t get to go to town with her. She called us to tell us where she was so we wouldn’t worry. Calixte answered the telephone as he is the biggest and strongest.



While Sam was gone we decided we would be helpful and wrap her daughters birthday presents, one less job for Sam to do before Friday. I think we did a wonderful job. Calixte was very helpful with the scissors, cutting the paper nice and straight.Bon held the sticky tape and I taped the parcel up.



We all decided that these books would be our present to Miss 8, hopefully Sam doesn’t mind, I mean we wrapped 5 different presents, surely one of them could be from us!



When Sam returned home she brought with her a surprise!!! A new toy voyager to visit. It was very difficult to open the envelope, it was all stuck up with sticky tape. Calixte had to very carefully use the scissors and cut a small hole.



Bon was able to poke his head in and with the help of Calixte and me we pulled out Antonio!!





He was glad to see the world again after being in that envelope for a few weeks. He introduced himself and we chatted about our travels.

Well that is how the morning turned out. I wonder what will happen this afternoon?

Hi!

Sunshine packed her bag this morning and is waiting at the post office ready to depart Australia and continue her journey to Portugal. She is very excited. I don't know how long it will take for her to arrive at Luthien's home as this is the 1st time I have sent a voyager to Portugal. Hopefully it will take only 2 - 3 weeks.
I enjoyed having Sunshine visit. I wish her safe and speedy travels!

Sam
