Unfortunately he had two daughters who lived overseas luckily they are alive. His older daughter now she is an ex- Prime Minister. This is a famous person of our country.

First day Australia


My first day in Australia was both a happy and exciting one. I arrived in the summer of December 20004. I was really excited to see my brother. He came 4 years before me. I came with my husband and my son. It was the first time I came to Australia. My brother took me to his house. I was very tired and upset because I missed my family. Australia is a very nice country I like everything here.

Holiday


We all love going for a holiday. After a hard working day, a holiday relaxes our mind and body. Last Australia Day we made a trip to Goulburn. My family and seven of our family friends joined the trip.

We got up at 6o'clock in the morning. I made breakfast for my family. We started for Goulburn. We took M5 on our way to Goulburn. The country side view was very beautiful, which really amazed us. We had lunch at Mc Donalds. We visited the river side , the park, the hill tops, Goulburn business centre and many other places. Finally we arrived at Sydney at 11o'clock at night.

I was really tired but I enjoyed the whole day.
