Back to Australia again!

Heading off again as usual. I fly over to Australia every year maybe twice, in the holidays to see my dad and my siblings. Have you ever flown by yourself? If you're my age it does feel a little bit scary but this was my second time flying unaccompanied so I wasn’t as anxious. When you fly by yourself you have would normally have a flight attendant watching you. Two of my favourite things to do on the plane is to watch movies and listen to music. Landing of the plane is not my favourite part most of the times the plane screech’s but fortunately the plane wasn’t that bad it was smooth landing. As soon as I hoped off the plane I was happy to see my dad. As soon as I got to my dads house I put bags into my baby brothers room and watched some movies then crashed.

One of the things that I did while there was go to was heading to Wet and Wild. The weather was scorching as soon as I headed outside it just overwhelmed me. Swimming was fantastic just hanging out with my dad his wife and my siblings. “Splash! Get over here” I said to my two younger siblings we were have a little fight in the pool. My little brother who was five and my sister who was three years old, were trying to punch and drown me ( I sort of taught them to be rough ). I didn’t go on any rides because I would have gone by myself and so I was looking after my younger brothers and sisters instead. It was packed to capacity with people.

Another thing that I did there was a lot of shopping (which I usually hate doing). My uncle Ailuai took me to a house near his place where they sold basketball singlets for $15 and caps for $10, he had the sale in his garage. They are all imported from U.S.A or thats what I overheard the seller say. When we got there there was a wall filled with snap back hats. They were all different colors and brands. My uncle said I could pick three hats. After a lot of thought I chose  three hats: Neff, Sorry I’m Fresh and Street Swag.

I always love coming to see my dad and my little siblings especially to come see my new baby brother Deandre. Can’t wait to go back again had a lot of fun. Most of the time I was there I was watched movies which was awesome. My favorite right now has got to be Pitch Perfect. Have you seen it yet? You should watch it!

Holiday highlight

It was a lucky night where me and my family and I in Australia got to go to a restaurant in the gold cost.We had to walk and it was a very long way to get there and while we were walking we saw some large Crabs it was freaky because they were moving there mouths in a sideways motion. But finally we arrived at the restaurant that my Auntie

When we had arrived the place looked awesome because there were mini hot balloons that you get to sit in. Me and my family ordered some ribs and a all you can eat pancakes. First I had a pancake with melted butter it was okay but not sweet enough so I was going to have another but my dad insisted I have some ribs so I had a couple of ribs then dug back into the pancakes.



My second pancake was with butter and golden maple syrup the butter melted in my mouth then the golden syrup dripped out of my mouth. My third pancake had topping of ice cream and syrup. I was going to have another but my dad said “to only have one more and you only get a half pancake” “Okay” I said.


After all of those delicacy's we had we all had sore stomachs and was completely full of food. That night I slept great. That was a trip to remember.

Darius' Summer Vacation in Australia

Last year I went to Australia for the Summer Holidays. When I got to Australia I was really excited to see my dad and the others. On Wednesday I went to Movie World. I went on lots of rides with my cousin and my auntie. We went on the best rides ever. First we went on the Superman ride, Scooby Doo, Leathal Weapon and the Wild West Falls. After that I was bushed.

The next day I went to Water World. I didn’t like that world that much because it didn’t have that much rides and you had to wait for ages to get on one. Anyway at least it was sort of fun but the rides weren’t that bad. On this one ride called the Tornado, it looked really scary. But after I went on it, I felt amazing because it wasn’t as scary as I thought it was. However, afterwards I was really exhausted.

On Friday I went to Sea World with my aunt and uncle. When we got there I wanted to go on this ride called Jet Rescue but I couldn’t because it wasn’t working properly. There’s this like escalator luge thingy takes you over to the other side of Sea World. It was cool because you sit on top of the seats and you can see everything. I could see dolphins playing down below in the sea. Then we went on SEA VIPER when I went on it felt awesome because it goes really really fast. Then I went home drained of energey because of all of the rides.
