Sonya is holidaying in Australia This is part of a letter which she wrote to her parents.
I’m really enjoying my holiday in Australia Last Sunday I visited a marine park called Sea World, which is at Surfers Paradise near Brisbane It’s Australia’s largest marine park and I had wonderful day there
The first thing I saw was the Oceanarium, which is a place where you can watch all sorts of sea fish and animals underwater There were huge turtles, sharks and beautiful tropical sea fish The most exciting thing was watching a man feeding the sharks He wore a special diving suit Then I watched the performing animals The show was in a big outdoor swimming pool There were killer whales, and sea lions, and they did all sorts of fantastic things in the water
One of the girls in the show rode around the pool on the back of a killer whale, and another girl rode under water on the back of a big turtle After the show I had lunch There were several big restaurants at the park and I had lunch in a restaurant that was shaped like a ship Then I watched a wonderful water-ski show which was held on the lake
There were lots of other things to at the park There was lake cruising, a train ride, a big water slide, swimming pools, and an incredible roller-coaster called the Corkscrew! - Because it goes through three loops upside down But I wish I had gone on the roller-coaster ride before lunch rather than after it
I’m sending you some postcards to show you how great it was
