**Australia Recount**
On the 20th of March my family and I travelled to the Gold Coast, Australia for a family holiday going to the theme parks. I woke up excited one morning knowing we were going to spend the day at Dream World! As we arrived I remember feeling a sudden rush of excitement and nerves seeing all the rides. Dream World ended up being my favorite theme park yet Movie World, Sea World and Wet N Wild were also all amazing! The next day we went to the night markets along the beach at Surfers Paradise and I got to hold a snake. It was a black headed Python! I can still remember the cold slimmey feeling of its body around my neck. This would have been one of the most scariest things I've done. A few more days had past and we had gone to Wet N Wild. Inside Wet N Wild was a Sky Swing, which my Sister, Mum and I went on together. This was another scary yet amazing thing i had done. You had to hop in a full body harness which connected you to a 54m high pole. You got pulled all the way up and just dangled face down for a few seconds untill the instructer told you to pull a string that flung you free, going back and forth like a swing for a few minutes over part of the park! I had an amazing time in Australia with my family achieving new things and being around a change of scenery. I cant wait to have an opportunity like this again.
