Travelog for: Momo-san

Today Fimbo and I went to work with Sue and saw a wonderful cat made from folded paper - it is a welcoming cat! Also today some students from Japan arrived - they are visiting for 10 days -we said welcome too!

We had a big drive in the car to Balwyn today - Sue was volunteering for the Australian Orangutan Project at the netball day. It was orange day!  We were in charge of the cupcakes - and said hello to the orangutans that were there.

After the netball we drove to the city and went to the Craft and Quilt show - we didn't get a photo at the show because there were lots of people- it was very crowded. When we were leaving we had a look at an old sailing ship outside called the Polly Woodside.

Today we went out into the garden, it was such a beautiful sunny day, we had a look at the blue sky and some early spring flowers - they smelt wonderful!!

This afternoon we went out in to the garden to help put the prunings on the rubbish heap - it is a lovely sunny day but very windy. We found the first daffodils in flower and i had a look at another gum tree -this one has red flowers but they won't come until summer.

This weekend we have been to the beach! We had one sunny day and one wet day. We went for a walk to the shops and saw some gum trees and trees Sue thinks are teatrees that grow near the water. We had a good time out and about!!   We found a really nice camellia flower in the garden when we got back and I had a smell of the jasmine - was beautiful but it made me sneeze!!

On Sunday we went for another walk and we found some gum nuts -  they come on the tree after the flowers and some late gum flowers! We were lucky to find these as most of the gum trees have finished flowering.

Hello again!!
Tonight we helped Sue cook dinner. We put a can of chicken and vege soup, a cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 tbsp curry powder in a pot and brought it to the boil, then let it cool a little. Then we took the meat off a cooked chicken and put it in a dish - we cut up and cooked some brocolli and mixed that with the chicken. Then we poured over the soup mixture and put grated cheese and breadcrumbs on top. Then it went under the grill. Smelt really good  We served it up with boiled rice!! Yum!!

Love and hugs from  Australia

Hello!!
Today we went on a big drive to Sherbrooke, it was on the other side oh the city and up a big hill - it is in the Dandenong Ranges - lots and lots of trees!! I could have big fun flying around up here 

Sunday we drove into the city and Sue showed us the Yarra River and some of the city buildings. We found some interesting grafitti on the walls in some alleys and some interesting little food places 

Later Sunday afternoon we went to the Fitzroy Gardens - boy there were lots of trees there!! We found some interesting flowering plants, the fairy tree and a model Tudor village - we couldn't get in sadly but we squeezed thru the fence for a photo

Hi Mum,

Today we had a BIG day out!! We drove over to Bacchus Marsh then went onto the freeway up to Ballarat - it was just over one hours driving. We went to Ballarat Wildlife Park  so Sue could show us some Australian animals and guess what???? I got to meet a kangaroo, koala, wombat and emu (from a distance ). It was a really good day and everyone was interested in us! 

Love from Momo_san

Hi Mum,

Today Sue worked in the garden so we were out in the sun watching! I like the big gum trees! I am waiting to hear from my next host to see if I can go to the Philippines - that will be exciting!

Let you know soon.
Love and hugs
