Hello from Down Under

Hello,

Hey guys we have had an interesting fours days here. So far we have gone snorkeling and scuba diving on the reef, went to Kuranda which is a rainforest station, went to Yarrabah and learned about the aboriginal community and their history and today we went to daintree and visited the wildlife zoo and trecked around in the rainforest. Scuba diving on the reef was AWESOME!!! I was able to see a shark. Kuranda was also AWESOME!!! I held a koala bear and a snake. I also got to pet and feed a kangaroo. In Yarrabah, we learned alot about the history of their community. They are similar to our Native Americans. They also have a similar background story about their treatment throughout history. Today, at the Daintree Wildlife Zoo we got to see two crocodiles being fed. They fought over the meat. They were HUMONGOUS!!! Did you know that crocodiles can jump the length of their bodies?? It's quite scary to be leaning over the railing knowing they can easily jump up and take a bite at me. They also move very fast when they want too. I hope you guys are enjoying the cold weather. We are defintely enjoying the warm weather here in the tropics. Talk with you guys soon.
