  45. “My Aussie Adventure”By: J.Maiden I’m on an airplane to Los Angeles. The in-flight movie is something terrible called High School Musical. I’ve decided that the next few hours would be best spent documenting my recent trip to Australia. I guess the beginning would be the best place to begin. I arrived in Sydneyabout one week ago. This is a beautiful harbor city which is home to more Australians than any other city in the country. Most people around the world assume that Sydney is the capital, but Canberra is the actual capital city of this country/continent. It is located in the Australian Capital Territory. Immediately, I was greeted by a very excited sheila. She exclaimed “G’Day Mate” and welcome to Australia! I asked her if she could direct me to the nearest restroom. “See that bloke on the red pushysmokin’ a fag?” I said “yeah.” “The dunny is just through that door behind him.” I said thanks & was on my way. Later that night, I decided to get some early rest because the next day I was going to visit the largest coral reef in the world. The Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Queensland is a place I’ve always wanted to visit. I was making sure that I had the correct name of the banana-benderI was meeting up with tomorrow in Brisbane (the capital of Queensland State). We would leave there by boat & head to the reef. While imagining how cool the next day would be, I dozed off into a deep sleep.
