Aussie day 6

Today we went to a place called The Skywalk and it was really cool. It was a rain forest that at the start it was a track made of metal track up around the top of the trees so we were really high and about 1/4 of the water reached the ground. I learnt a lot about trees like the giant strangling fig which is a parasite. It grows from the top of a tree and makes its way too the bottom then suffocates the tree inside by not giving it sunlight or carbon dioxide so it just dies inside and rots away. The fig then uses the rotted tree as food. Then we went to McDonald's so I could do blogger. After that we went to dreamworld and I held a koala bear and had a photo with a snake. The koala was cute but it smelt funny. I fed a kangaroo out of my hand. It was Mack's choice was first so we went to the puss 'n 'boots ride. Then it was my choice so I chose the Moto-coaster and me and Bailey got to sit at the front. It was really fast. Then we went to a.v.p which is alien v.s predator laser tag. Then we went to the shockwave the, cyclone and the claw and just stayed there for the rest of the day so when I got home I went for a swim and then had fish and chips for dinner.
