We’re hosting an event!
 
Imagine having the power to host any event you wanted — no limits, no budget, and no rules. It could be a massive music festival on a tropical island, a dinner party with the most fascinating people in history, or even a completely made-up event where worlds collide. Who would you invite? What would happen there? And where would it take place?

Dear Readers week's topic is hosting an event
Let me start by telling you about how, if I was hosting an event it wouldlook, I would host an Easter party in Paris at a restaurant. How would the decoration look? Of course everything would be Easter themed but it would look so extravagant and amazing!
 
What decorations would I have? I would have a big balloon arch in Easter colours, white and gold plates and the napkins folded in fancy way that looked elegant and neat. Forks and knives on the napkins and on each table there would be a vase with flowers  and I would  invite all my friends. On arrival each guest would get a free complimentary wine or champagne and all the food would be catered for and the restaurant would play some modern pop and Easter songs.
Readers I have a question: what event would you host?

Today's blog topic is: If I could host an event, what would it be?
If I could host any event, it would be a Disney festival right here in Melbourne, close to home so it's easy for me to get to. At my festival, everything will be Disney themed. We will have Disney theme rides like Cinderella's Slipper Roller Coaster, Tangled Giant Drop, Belle's Teacups, and lots more rides for all ages.
There will also be shows on all day like The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid.

The festival will have yummy food like Mickey Mouse pancakes, Lady and the Tramp spaghetti and meatballs, Snow White's candy apples, and Ratatouille's vegetable stew.
There will be characters walking around interacting with all the guests. You can get a princess or prince makeover if you like. The Fairy Godmothers will do your hair and makeup and organise a special outfit just for you!
There will be a special disco room that will play Disney music to dance along to. On the main stage there will be a karaoke competition.
Basically, I'm going to create a Disneyland at a festival.

If I could host an event, I would do it in a cozy and quiet room because I do not like events that are too loud. The walls of the room would be lilac, which is a relaxing colour. The people there would be my intimate family and family from my mum’s side, like my aunts, uncles, grandma, and all my cousins. I would also invite my aunt from my dad’s side and her family. All of my cousins are teens and adults, so they do not run around like little kids do. It would be a family reunion event.

The event would be during the day, from 12 PM until 3 PM. I would send the invitations digitally because these days people do not use paper invitations. I would ask all my family to dress to impress or wear neat casual clothes, like a nice top and trousers. At the event, there would be yellow smiley face stickers that my family could take home. Everyone who came would get a sticker.

The food at the event would be Indonesian dishes, including yellow rice, fried chicken, kerupuk, which are Indonesian crackers, and fried tempeh, which is a soybean cake. For dessert, there would be two options people could choose from: Oreo ice cream or choc mint ice cream.

There would also be karaoke. Do you like to sing? I am not very fond of singing or dancing, but at my grandma’s birthday lunch last year, there was karaoke. Most of my aunts sang and danced to the music. Anyone who does not enjoy singing could just relax. After karaoke, we would play pass the parcel because it is a calm and relaxing game.
After the event, I would relax and take it easy, maybe have a nana nap, even though in real life I do not usually take naps unless I am unwell or tired from a big holiday.
Thanks for reading.

My topic is that I am going to the Collingwood game. It is going to be a great game.
Our topic is: what event would I like to host?
The event I would like to host would be a horror convention. We will host Chucky, Ghostface, Pennywise, and Jason Voorhees.

Everyone will be dressed like scary things such as zombies, vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstein.
There will be a ghost train with lots of jump scares. I can buy costumes and fake chainsaws and knives.
They will sell food. They will have burgers and chips.

The topic is: I am hosting my own event. Who will be there? Where will it be?
My brother invited me to a wedding. Ooo la la! I wore a suit for the wedding, and they all had a party all night. Oh dear, my grandma was sleeping. Why did we have a party all night anyway?
So I got home and went to sleep at night time. In the morning I needed to get up early. Oh no, why me? I got up and got ready.
I met Tayla. I played golf with my friend and went out for lunch.

If I hosted an event it would be a party. I would invite some friends. I would have my favourite food, pizza and chips. My favourite drinks chocolate milkshakes, Fanta and lemonade. I’d play music at my party.

Today we are talking about hosting an event. (This is a fictional event which means it's come from my imagination). 
My event would be a Southern Sons concert with John Farnham band members like Phil Buckle, Venetta Fields, David Hirschfelder, Brett Garsed, Angus Burchall, and Jack Jones. It would be at a music festival, and I got a chance to be in the front row. I also got a chance to do the sound check with my mum, and she showed me what to do.
Then Jack Jones asked my mum, “Who’s this young lady?” Then my mum said, “It’s my daughter Ash, and she has a huge crush on you. She thinks you look so cute with your long hair, and she has her wall covered in Southern Sons pictures of you. She says that she loves you every single time.”

Then we got a chance to meet all the band members, including the band members of Southern Sons, and we ordered KFC and heaps of beers as well. I wasn’t allowed to drink because I was 16 years old at the time, but I had a lot of energy drinks and, of course, water and Coke.

The best thing is that I got a chance to get free memorabilia and merchandise. Out of nowhere, Glenn Wheatley was so excited to see my mum and me setting up the stage for the shows. I got a big hug from John, saying thank you to everyone who has supported me in the shows and helped keep us on top of things that we have done.

John mentioned to everyone at the show that it was my birthday, and I got a birthday kiss from Jack Jones on the cheek. He said, “Ash, will you marry me?” and I said yes. Everyone was so excited. Then my mum said she knew that he was going to pop the question, and my mum was in tears saying that my baby is growing up too fast.

John said, “Congratulations on the news. I’m so proud of you guys,” and he said that he would be planning our wedding. Then Jack paid for us to go to America in business class, and I was so happy to see his hometown and meet his family.
Then I got a phone call from my mum. She said, “How do you feel to be married?” Then I said, “It’s great. Thank you, Mum. Thank you for letting me be with Jack.”
 
Thank you for reading my blog,
Ash.
 
 
Hello, I’m Shan and this is my event planning blog.
This blog is about events that we would like to have and all the things that go into hosting them. I’m not super great at planning events, and I’m sure there would be a whole lot of anxiety and apprehension involved. Planning things can be a bit hard and scary sometimes, but as always, this is a safe space for new or scary things. But enough stalling. Let’s get into my event.

I think I’d like to host an anti-social social gathering: a place for introverted or socially anxious people to come, be included, and feel a sense of togetherness while still being comfortable in a safe and supportive environment.

It would be held at a book café. I’m not sure where I’d find this book café at this point, but in my vision I see a cosy, old-style café filled with books, comfortable chairs, and little tables. It would also have an enclosed outdoor area with lots of greenery and sunshine. I imagine the space smelling like fresh coffee and baked goods, with dimmed lighting in some spots for anyone who might need it. Hopefully it would feel very welcoming.

My mind is blanking on who I’d invite at the moment, but the dress code would simply be to wear whatever feels most comfortable and brings you the most joy (you can even wear PJs!). Just come however you want and be ready to get social in the most anti-social way.

I think it would be an all-day event where people could come and go whenever it suits them. There would be absolutely no pressure at this event because where’s the fun in that? You could order food through your phone if you feel more comfortable doing that, or you could go up to the café counter and order there. The food would be typical café meals along with a variety of beverages.

The address, menu, and layout of the venue would be sent to all guests beforehand, along with an interactive map. This would hopefully help with the unknowns and reduce anxiety about attending the event.

There would also be fun introduction cards for any servers who are working at the event. These would be available on request (and of course only with the servers’ consent, because that’s important). I think this could be a really cool event without the normal pressures and expectations of typical gatherings and parties.

Would you want to come to something like this? What kind of event would you have if you were planning one? If you’d like, you can share it in the comments. I look forward to reading your ideas, and I hope you all have a wonderful week, my friends.
Your friend,
Shan
 
 
Dear readers,
How are you today? Today’s topic is: If you could plan an event, who would you invite and what would it look like?

My event would be on a cruise ship, and my friends and I would have the whole cruise ship to ourselves!!!

The cruise ship would be Mamma Mia karaoke themed. I would invite my friends, my family, my support workers, and famous people such as the Mamma Mia cast, Delta Goodrem, Jessica Mauboy, Emma Watson, Selena Gomez, Sabrina Carpenter, and Rapunzel (but no promises that she won’t hit anyone with the frying pan she carries hahaha).

My event would look like a Royal Caribbean Mamma Mia cruise. It would be decorated in blue and white and covered in pretty fairy lights, disco balls, microphones, dress-ups, food, drinks, stages, and more.

We would sing Mamma Mia songs, Disney songs, country songs, songs from The Lion King, and many others. There would be hot foods like hot dogs, fish and chips, pizza, pasta, and more. We would also have cocktails, mocktails, and soft drinks available.

There would be a Mamma Mia and Disney playlist playing throughout the cruise, plus screenings of Mamma Mia movies and Disney movies. We would even have a real life singer performing live as part of the fun.
Thank you for reading my blog.
This is Disney fan Beth signing off until the next adventure. 
 
Dear readers,
What event would you host and who would be there?
I would like to host my friends on a TV show. My friend Dave is from school and he would come on my show. On my show we would talk about cars. All cars are my favourite and I love trying to fix them.

I also love lawnmowers, so my show would include lawnmowers and all my friends as guests. I want to be an undercover spy, but I can’t be both a spy and a TV show host, so I’ll settle for a TV show.

On my show I will drive buggies and do tricks. I will also show people how to fix and work on lawnmowers.
​
Every show, one lucky viewer will win a free gift, which will be different each time. They could win things like lawnmowers, cars, or scooters.

When one season changes into another, the world around us slowly transforms. The temperature shifts, nature looks different, and our daily routines can change too. Our bloggers are reflecting on our summer season coming to an end a new fresh autumn just around the corner. 


Today's topic is about how we feel about the new season.
There are four seasons in the year. Summer, Winter, Spring and Autumn. We've just entered autumn! My favourite season is spring, because it's not too hot and it's not too cold. The flowers start blooming and it's pretty. Baby animals are born in spring and they are so cute!! I like spring because Halloween is in spring, and I like to watch Halloween movies. Easter is also in autumn and that's one of my favourites.
I also like autumn, because the leaves on the trees are changing colour and it's so pretty.
I don't like winter because I don't enjoy cold days. I don't like it when it storms because it's a bit scary. There's something I do like about winter and that is enjoying a hot chocolate and being nice and warm in bed watching movies.
I like summer because I can go to the pool and the beach to stay cool that makes me happy.
Christmas is in summer and I love Christmas, it's another one of my favourites.
Your friend, Claire.


Autumn is the type of cold weather I like, some is raining but is better of summer.
The next season in June is winter but the winter makes me cold when I go to the Collingwood footy game.  Instead I can watch at home to stay warm. 
The next season is the spring but I really hate spring so much all ways making me hay fever.
The next is back for the summer is good to be the summer on December.
The four seasons are called summer, autumn, winter and spring.
My favourite spring is the summer because it gives me lots of fresh air.
My worst season is the spring because it's keeps me lots of hay fever.
Korey.


Dear readers, this week's topic is about the seasons, let me start by telling you about how I feel about Autumn.
I like autumn because it's not too hot or cold and  when the weather is a bit cold you can make and eat your favourite comfort foods like soups and stews and drink hot drinks like hot chocolate, tea, coffee and my personal favourite chai latte.  You can do some other things like wear warm, cozy and comfy clothes likes socks and pyjamas. You can wrap a warm blanket around you, read or watch movies, listen to music, stay at home and sleep, play games on your phone or online, colouring in a colouring book and shopping.   These are a few things you can do on a cold day or night.
Readers I'm writing from home because I feel a little bit under the weather and I hope to be back at blogging soon. 
Readers, I have a question: do you like autumn?
written by Charlotte.


In Australia we are now in autumn, which is a combination of winter and summer together, well to me it is. 
I like autumn the best out of all the seasons because it’s not too hot and not too cold, you can still spend time outside at night time and it will still be light. 
I prefer the colder seasons than hot seasons. 
There are many meanings to the word season for example tv season.
At the moment I’m watching The Pitt season two, but sadly an episode is release weekly, so annoying, but it is worth it. Hopefully there will be a season 3.


 Another meaning is a new season of sports, for example football which is a winter only sport but it is called a season, which lasts until September or October depending on the dates, I think.  Not a very big football fan as you can probably tell. But most people go crazy for football season. 


So I think a new season is a fresh way to start off and a new tv show season most people will get excited about it, and with sport seasons people will get pumped about their football teams and become the teams biggest cheerleaders. People do go crazy, they dress up and they paint their faces in the teams colours.  


I hope you’ve kind of learnt a new meaning to the word “season” so it’s not just about the weather seasons, and a little about me and my favourite season. 
Thank you for reading Haley. 


Today we are talking about the change of seasons from summer to autumn. I absolutely love autumn weather because I like watching the leaves changing colours and listening to the leaves crunching under your feet.  I absolutely love listening to the rain on the tin roof when it’s raining and watching the lighting show .  Autumn weather is amazing and looking at the difference leaves and looking at the different colours and shapes of the leaves. Walking around my neighbourhood and seeing different things like the smell of rain or when it begins to rain. I also like the smell of freshly mowed grass and what I like about the mow grass is the smell when it’s being freshly cut. Kicking the grass around because it’s fun and doing the same to the leaves as well. Autumn can have different effects like raining, sunny or even cloudy. Sometimes I wear a jumper if I’m cold but all the time I wear shorts and tops because I don’t feel the cold.  People think I’m crazy but I love it. I’ve got some people birthdays are in autumn, I wish I was born in autumn not summer.
Ash.


Today's blog topic is about new seasons.
This week is now autumn which is great because I prefer cold weather and now it's not summer anymore. Winter is my favourite and I like to keep myself warm with jackets and blankets. I do like autumn as well as the weather isn't as hot and I like the colours of the trees. I like to go for walks when the weather is not too hot or not too cold. My dog also likes to be taken for walks which is perfect in autumn. I Don't like the rain much because I have to stay indoors or I'll get wet, I like to use umbrellas but if there is a lot of rain I still get wet.
This is Ronalda signing off, see you next week.


We are talking about new seasons and what that means to you. New weather, different experiences, different clothes. 
Summer is my favourite season because I can go into my pool and swim. I have to be careful on hot days because the water can get very hot. When we got the pool they didn't do it properly and my big brother had to fix the pipes.
I love warm nights in summer having a beer outside. We are coming into autumn now so it is going to get cold soon. I have to rug up all cuddly and warm. I love having the heater on too.
This is Nick signing off see you next week.




Shan’s new season blog.
Welcome to the first blog written for March, meaning that this is the first blog we wrote in the month of March and that is exciting, well it is for me anyway. It’s important, I believe, to find things to get excited about and look forward too. A new month is exciting because it’s filled with fresh possibilities and opportunities. What’s extra special about March though, is it brings with it the start of a new season. Goodbye to the sunny days of summer and a big “hello” to the cooler and possibly wetter days of autumn. 


I’m sure everyone has different feelings about the end of summer and that’s ok, you go ahead and feel the feels. I’m always excited for autumn, I love the different colours that it brings to natures backdrop, all the reds, oranges, yellows and browns of the leaves from the trees. The sky even looks a bit different, maybe a bit cloudier or moodier you might say. It does feel like a gentle change though and I don’t mind this kind of change because it feels slow and calm to me. I think it’s nice to have some cooler days and give the land time to heal from the harshness of the summer sun. Maybe autumn will bring us all some time to rejuvenate and get lost in thought. Not that I need help getting lost in thought, I have a gold medal in overthinking and being off with the fairies. I should do a blog on fairies I reckon but back to today’s topic. 


While I will most definitely complain about the cold at some point, it’s unavoidable as winter is coming. I will enjoy the time that I will have curled up with my blankets and having all the hot cups of tea. This has got to be the best part of the cooler months, getting toasty warm and enjoying all the hot beverages and meals that are usually winter staples. I also think it will be wonderful to cuddle up with my dog and enjoy his company on cold days. ( though I enjoy his company EVERYDAY he is the best). With new seasons comes new creatures to see outside as well so I will enjoy rugging up in cosy warm clothes and finding new creatures to befriend and learn about. 


I think it’s important to embrace this new season while also acknowledging our feelings about it. If you feel like the new season is a lot and you’re not ready for the change then that’s ok, be kind to yourself and think about what brings you joy while also thinking about the things that don’t bring you joy. All feelings are valid my friends. You can also always look forward to your favourite season too. New month, new season and a new blog for you our lovely readers. 
Have a wonderful month of March and be kind to yourself and others. 
Your friend always, 
Shan.


We are blogging about the change of season, as March is the first month of autumn. The new season makes me feel happy, cool, and crisp as the weather starts to cool down. I love cooler weather more than hot or muggy weather. Hot weather makes me feel uncomfortable, but sometimes I can eat ice cream to beat the heat.


Even though autumn weather is starting to get cooler, we might still have a few muggy or hot days. I remember last year in March we had hot weather almost every day. It only cooled down around the middle of March. I checked the weather this year, and the temperature has started to get mild. Some people enjoy hot weather because they can wear summer clothes like dresses, shorts, and singlets.


The sky is starting to get darker in the morning because daylight saving will finish next month. Some people do not mind daylight saving ending, but others can feel sad, especially those who love sunshine and warm days. I remember Cindy was sad that daylight saving was almost over because she prefers more sunshine and hot days. I feel different about daylight saving. I feel neutral. I do not fuss when it ends or starts. I live in Australia, so I have to accept it. Some countries do not have daylight saving. Do you like daylight saving ending or starting?


March is also a great month because Umbrella Support and Jeff the Bear will be five years old, and we will celebrate soon. I cannot wait to wear my winter gear again, even though it is only the beginning of autumn.
Thanks for reading.

Today's topic is how we feel about the new season. I don't like autumn because the leaves have to fall off the trees and dad has to clean it up on the pathway. 
It it's starting to get cooler
Ben 2.


Dear readers how are you? Today’s topic is about how you feel about the new season. Readers, I have a question for you: what do you like about the new season? I don't mind autumn, because the weather is cooling down but not too cold yet as winter is still a couple of months away. Daylight savings ends on the fifth of April, it's going to get darker earlier in the day. I don't like that. The leaves start changing colour and falling off the trees. Hibernation starts late Autumn so some animals are getting ready to sleep for a few weeks or up to eight months!!!! That's one long nap!!!


My favourite seasons are spring and autumn. I like that it starts to warm up in spring, daylight saving starts, things start to grow again and baby animals are born. Sometimes a bit cold and rainy, with some warmer days some cooler days.


I don't mind winter because of the cold rainy storms and snow. You can get warm and snug with warm showers and hot foods and hot drinks. Storms are very scary and animals hibernate. If I was an animal I would hibernate.
Thank you for reading my blog, let us know what you think in the comments below.  This is Beth signing off until our next blogging adventure. 

I love Disney. In case you didn't know this yet I have been to so many Disneys and Disney Cruises.
They are lots of fun and I smile the whole time. Beauty and the Beast castle is the greatest.
There are lots of rides and my favourite is the Beauty and the Beast castle ride and sitting in a big teacup you get to ride around the dining hall, and see the rose in the glass cabinet. The Beast comes to dance with Belle at the end in her yellow dress and it is true love.
Disney also has my favourite food such as the Mickey Mouse ear pancakes, lots of drinks too.
I won't ever stop talking about the Disney Cruises they are so much fun and I have lots of photos to remember my holidays.
I haven't been to Shanghai yet but when I can I will go to the Shanghai Disney. Paris too. I think my holiday to Paris will be incredible.
All the Disney parks have slight differences. Shanghai have some special characters and Euro Disney in Paris also have different ones. I’m sure the food will be different too.
I always buy a shirt or two when I go on my holidays. In fact I will wear my new Anastasia t-shirt from the new show on Monday for my friends to see.
I am looking forward to bowling this Saturday with my carer. It has been too long. And I miss it. So much fun.
Thank you, your friend, Claire.




Today is a free topic for my blog, so I decided to write about gifts. People receive gifts on special occasions. Some people like to wrap them in wrapping paper, while others prefer to put gifts in a box or a gift bag.
There are so many designs for wrapping paper and gift bags, such as Disney, Snoopy, Minions, fairy, Christmas, unicorns, and more. I asked mum where she bought wrapping paper when I was small. She told me she bought it at Citra Galleria, which is my favourite gift shop in Jakarta.
I received so many gifts when I was a little kid. When I was small, I did not have my own money yet, except for Lunar New Year red pocket money. I loved all the gifts that my family and friends gave me. I got cute loungewear pants, Powerpuff Girls cutlery and a mug, a sheep plush toy, a Disney Princess bag, a Beauty and the Beast toy from a friend, and going out clothes. I could go on and on sharing about my childhood gifts.
If I had to pick my favourite childhood gift, I would choose the cute loungewear pants. I liked them because they felt cozy when I wore them. I usually wore them while lounging at home, or as pyjama pants. They had different designs and colours, some of them in pastel shades like baby yellow and baby pink.
I also learned that when someone gives you a present, it is good to say thank you and appreciate it. It is the thought that counts, even if the gift is edible. I remember in primary school I got chocolate as a Kris Kringle gift. I still appreciated it even though I could not keep it forever, because I could eat it.
I also received lots of gifts when I graduated from school from some of my teachers. I got a Pooh photo album with pictures of me at school, Uno cards, body wash, colour pencils, a plush toy, and lollies. I opened them straight away. When you receive a gift, do you open it at home, or do you open it in front of the giver?
Thank you for reading.

Tuesday I went to ACMI in the city. It is a great place with cool stuff about animation and films.  It looks like a museum.
I saw the old filmmaker it was old and cool.
Someone has made the stop motion movie of clay and the was a movie called “Memoir of a Snail” and it was a good movie but very sad. Oh well it doesn't matter. There are people who have made the mouth, just like the talking mouth for Wallace and Grommit.
There is a lego stop motion too.  
There are old game consoles, such as the ps1, ps2, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, Nintendo Entertainment System and ps4.   So many of it is for the gamers club.
I like how cool is the train travel side to side, it was petty amazing.
My favourite is about collecting the movies and shows and four collections. I got the Conjuring, Annabelle, Supernatural and the House of Wax. I can’t wait to see Scream 7, it is coming out today.
Korey.


Today's blog topic is a choose your own adventure.
Today I'm going to write about the things that make me happy!!
Today I'm feeling happy, because I got my nails done yesterday. My sister paints my nails, I love my sister she makes me happy.
My sister painted my nails purple, the colour purple makes me happy. My favourite colours are purple and pink because they make me happy.
My nails are sparkly purple, they make me smile when I look at them because they make me feel good.
I've started making coffee, with my friends at Lyrebird Community Centre. Learning to make coffee makes me happy. It makes me happy because I'm learning something new and I can do hard things because I'm brave.
I feel brave when I go on the escalators by myself and that makes me happy. I've been working on going on the escalators by myself. Before I go on the escalators I tell myself I am brave and this reminds me I can do it!


Going shopping with Sheridan also makes me happy. I love looking at everything and buying things. After we look around the shops and I practice going on the escalators, we eat our lunch together. I like having a sandwich for lunch — that makes me happy.
What makes you happy?
Written by Ronalda. 


I want to go back to America again because they’re beautiful people out there. Disney is always beautiful but big rides. So many good clothes and big food yummy. They have different money, oh lord. Anyway there is hot weather out there for beautiful days. I’m so happy today for Ruby came back after three days missing. Oh lord, my mama found her that’s good.  That’s why I didn’t sleep without Ruby. TJ.


My adventure started at 2.00am last Thursday when my friend Sabrina and I got dressed and headed to her Aunties house to pick her up to head to the airport to travel to Cairns.
When we got to Cairns airport, we got up to the gate and Sabrina had lost her boarding pass. The security guards moved us aside, and we waited until they brought a “Dummy” boarding pass for her. Finally we got through and went out to meet her Aunty who went before us, so she could have a smoke.


We got settled into the apartment, we needed food, Sabrina said let’s go on another adventure. We walked to the receptionist and asked her where the local shop is, she said five minutes down the road by bus, so we walked to the bus stop, got on a bus and ended up on the wrong bus and went the total opposite way for about 25 minutes, only us. We got our lunch and the food for the week.  We had to get a taxi back to the resort though.


We went to a Thai restaurant, and ordered an adult beverage.
The next morning Sabrina and I went to catch a train to Kuranda village. 
We had lunch at the Kuranda pub and on the way to the pub we saw a dog in a car in the drivers seat waiting for his owner to come out from the pub. We stood there talking to the dog for a good while. Then we went to the butterfly house. 
I had a butterfly land on my phone. Then we headed back down by a cable car and I swear we were up in the clouds. 
The next day, was a relaxing day so we just wandered around and visited a few different shops, we got the right bus home. 
We went out for dinner at a local Italian place, then headed back to the room.  We were all in bed by 9pm. 


The next day Sabrina and I went on a bus tour to see the Mossman gorge, the Daintree forest and Cape Tribulation. We had a cruise with the tour and saw a few crocodiles on the banks of the river. 
We got home after a long day, but we still all went out for dinner at another Italian restaurant.  


The next morning we had the morning to relax and do what ever, but after lunch we went on a tour bus to a crocodile zoo/farm.
I held a baby Crocodile named Goliath, then went on another boat cruise where the driver would stop and try and feed the crocodiles that lived in the swampy river. You should have seen all of the crocodiles jumping out of the water to get the piece of meat. 
We got home at dinner time and took Sabrina’s Aunt out to the Italian restaurant for our last night in Cairns. 


We woke up the next day, packed our stuff and were ready to go get breakfast until Sabrina read the email again, we thought it was 10.45am but it was 9.45am, breakfast plans went out the door. So we caught a taxi and headed to the airport, lucky she re-read her emails. We got on the plane things were running smoothly, until we got as far as Bendigo where we weren’t allowed to land due to the storms. We did a few circles then we landed finally in Melbourne. Again things were running smoothly, until we got to her car. The poor car battery had died. We waited for almost three hours for a car company to help us, but a security guard drove past and jump started her car, we packed the car up and we were on the move again until we got to the ticket bay. Because the car battery had died, we had passed our time limit so the ticket machine wouldn’t accept our ticket. I swear the airport didn’t want us to leave. She rang help and they opened the gate and we were off again. 
I got home at 8pm, chased my cat to show him love but he wasn’t having it, until we were in bed every few hours he would walk up to my head to see if I was there and he would start to purr, so I know he was happy again. Maggie on the other hand couldn’t care less, unless I gave her food. 
Anyways that my crazy adventure with my friend and her aunt.

Dear readers, how are you? Today's topic is a choose your own adventure and I have chosen to write about what friendship means to me and why.  Let me start by telling you what friendship means to me. Friendship to me is people who are kind, caring, sweet, bubbly, and supportive. I like being with supportive people and support workers because it makes me feel happy and supported. They make me feel like I belong and am able to ask for help if I need it. I like having someone to go talk to if something is wrong. It makes me feel happy being with safe people in safe places so I’m able to express myself and just having people who listen like Cindy, Krystle, Chanel and Sheridan. To be honest with you  Krystle, Cindy and Sheridan gives the best hugs but Chanel gives the best soft hugs as well.
I enjoy spending time with one of my best friends called Millie and cooking with her and my friends on Tuesdays. 
Readers what are your adventures? Let us know in the comments below. Thank you for reading my blog this is Beth signing off until next week!




Today it’s a choose your adventure blog, today I’ll be talking about my experience on the Ned Kelly tour. Krystle picked me up from my house then we went to Maccas for breakfast and then we met up with Charlotte and Martina at Narre Warren train station, and then we got off at State library station. We walked to the State Library to see Ned Kelly’s armour and then I got a chance to read Justice Raymond Barry’s account of the trial of Ned Kelly.   There is a wonderful wood carving of the hearing of Ned Kelly being sentenced to death by hanging. A fact I learned on the tour is the day before Ned got hung, his mum was working in the laundry across where Ned’s cell was.  They brought Ellen to Ned’s cell to say her final good bye to him . She said if you die you die like a Kelly and at 10:10am on the 11/11/1880 Ned was hung. 
We looked up where the old police headquarters was and there is a crest it says Russell Street.  We walked to the watch house and we had to line up ladies on one side and men on the other. We did some role playing and a few people got to play a character. One guy was charged with dealing dangerous things and then a kid got charged with drinking beer in a public place. Then I got picked as Edith and was arrested because as I was stalking the people in the watch house and when we where told not to touch the writing because it’s heritage listed. I asked the Sergeant about the picture of the young woman in the picture and she told me that Angela who was walking out of the watchouse to go the police canteen to buy some food and a minute later, forty years ago, the bomb went and she was thrown into the air and she was laying on her back then the police officers had to make sure they wasn’t another explosion. The people who did the bombing are still in jail but one of them has passed away and the other has been released but Craig Minogue is still in jail and is not allowed to be released.

Charlotte too is writing about her adventure on the weekend below.
Dear Readers this week's topic is a choose your own adventure. 
Readers let me start by telling you that Ash and I did a Ned Kelly tour at the old Melbourne Gaol and we also did the watch house tour. The funny thing is that Ash got called stalker because she kept stalking people and Ash told us about the police headquarters at Russell Street and the bombing. 
It was so interesting to learn about the history of Old Melbourne Gaol and Ned Kelly.  Martina and I went into Ned Kelly's cell and Krystle took a photo of us in his cell and inside of Ned Kelly's cell  there was a plaque of were his body was buried  after he died.  On our tour of Ned Kelly the tour guide said that there was piece of the actual rope they used to hung him in a cell on the second floor, and there was another cell that had all the names of the prisoners that committed different  crime's and the dates and years on the wall. We went on another tour called the watchhouse tour and we were greeted by a sergeant of heritage listed watch house and we got to experience  what it was like in the old days. Before it ended we were allowed to take photos in the female exercise yard and I got my mugshot photo was taken by Martina.

Shan’s February choose your own adventure blog…
What’s really awesome about having access to many books and the internet is that I now know that there are roughly 200,000 different species of insects in Australia, this is information I found on the Taxonomy Australia website. I’ve never been on that website before because when it comes to searching for information I usually have my go to websites for reliable information. For example the National Geographic website, though as you may already know there are millions, even billions of websites that you can use and many books you can find on any topic that brings you joy. Though you may not find joy in knowing how many insects there are in our lovely country but each to their own right?


On the topic of insects I also find the Australian museum website very helpful. If you have ever been to a museum the information is set out very much the same as it would be at the museum. Very factual and to the point, this is something that brings me a ridiculous amount of joy because I don’t have to question if the information is correct, I do enjoy fact checking information but if I don’t have to its wonderful I can just enjoy my moment of learning. I’m also going to encourage everyone to go visit the museum at least once in your lifetime You can make it a day out and enjoy the journey of learning. 


If I can find a physical book on a topic I want to learn about I’ll either buy it or borrow it from the local library, for privacy reasons I’m not going to tell you where my local places are however you can google “my local library” and it will tell you where your local library is and joining the library is I think fairly simple but there are also people at the library that can help you join. According to Public Libraries Victoria there are over 300 public library locations in Victoria, some of those would be mobile libraries that are for more rural areas which is fabulous because it provides more access to libraries. I believe everyone should have access to libraries because it’s a magical place full of words and knowledge. 


Did you know that the Victorian State Library started with 3846 original volumes, which means first edition books and doesn’t that bit of information bring you so much joy? I know that for some the answer will be no and that’s absolutely ok my friends because it brings me joy to know that the state library of Victoria have been able to expand their collection in both physical books and online editions. If you want to know by how much you’ll need to go to the state library of Victoria website or Google it to find out. I hope I have sparked your curiosity enough that you actually do go and find out. 
Thank you to our beautiful readers for following along on our blogging journeys, we are so very grateful for you today and everyday!


Your friend always,
Shan.

One day, a girl named Sally went shopping for her birthday cake. But it turned into a pie. She also put some apple in the pie. She used her phone to look up a recipe because she didn’t know how to make the pie.
