Hi everyone. Firstly I want to tell Thomas that I am trying lots of new foods. Some I like and some I don't like, oh yeah and some I kind of like.
Today I went into a big cave called a cavern. I kind of got scared when they turned the lights off but my Dad was there so I was ok. Sorry girls but there were no diamonds or crystals or anything like that. A long time ago in 1915 there were two boys who went exploring in the cavern without telling anyone they were there. One of the boys slipped over and smashed the lantern and it then took 2 whole days for the boys to find their way out in total darkness. Really really really dark. Seriously, I am telling you it was sooooo dark. Perhaps they should have told someone that they were going exploring in the caves. Hmmmmm?
Also we have been staying in lots of National parks and so we have been looking for bears and beavers. Every night we have been roasting marshmallows. Oh yeah! They are really yummy. Sometimes my Mum and I burn our faces off and Daddy has to roast them for us.
Just to let you know, I have found out on our trip that my Daddy is really scared of geese and my Mummy is really scared or clowns. Can you believe that? Oh yeah (from Mummy, what on earth does Oh yeah mean?????).
I also got to swim in some beautiful waterfalls and mountain rivers. When we went swimming and looking for gold, my Daddy lost one of his thongs and it went sailing down the river.
I forgot to say that my Daddy and I went to a soldier museum like the War Memorial in Canberra which some of you might have seen. Some soldiers were there and there were lots of girl soldiers too. Daddy and I went on two ships. One was an aircraft carrier and one was a battleship. It was very very hot. I saw the sailor beds and I am telling you they only had tiny boxes to put their things in. Sooooo tiny. The chefs on the ships made loads and loads and LOADS of food. Can you see the photo of me standing next to the huge mixer called a master mixer. Can you believe it?
We are nearly finished our trip. Only one week to go. I promise to write more soon. I miss all of you and have sent a postcard.

Well done Grace for trying new foods, there must be lots of yummy things to try. It sounds like you are having many wonderful and exciting adventures, you were very brave to go down in to a dark cave. We are looking forward to hearing more about your adventures, it sounds as if you are having lots of fun.
