E-mail to family January 8th 2010


Yesterday was the free day and I did the whitewater rafting. We went up into the mountains/ jungle and it was cool I had a good time. The day before we went to this place called Rainforeststation. They had Aboriginal people showing examples of some of their culture. So basically we watched them dance, played a diderdo (spelling?) threw a boomerang(was not successful) watched them throw spears. They also an animal part where there were kangeroos jumping around and we could hand feed them. Took a picture with a kola(still have to find it) and watched a HUGE crocodile eat a chicken. It is very very hot and HUMID. People have told me down by Bond is cooler. Hopefully they are right.
Today we are going to plant trees and help some type of bird but tomorrow is the Great Barrier Reef! They take take people to scuba dive even with out a certificate so I think that I will go for it.
Anyway, love you, time to go help some birds.
