New School

I stayed at my godmother's house on the weekend. She lives in Manly (another beach suburb of Sydney of course!). She has a little wild brush tailed possum living in her roof! She calls him Jack. He is very cute and furry, he looks very cuddly.

Christmas Trip to Melbourne

Photo: Ava and Christmas tree




I went to Melbourne to celebrate Christmas. All my family members (from my Dad's side of the family) live there. It takes about ten hours to get there. It can be a very long and boring drive. But I can always find a way to pass the time.
