Hi, I’m Axana and I’m going to talk to you about what I did with my host family. First I met Rachel, Sophie's mom and we talked about a lot of things, we then went to the neighbour’s kangaroo with Sophie’s brother and her mother, I got to feed and pet the kangaroo, it was awesome! We went for a little walk in the woods and then we drove of to the city centre and rode to Wellington dam and the coalmines. I had a great time with the family and I really enjoy my stay with them.

Hey, We're Lendl and Liam and we're going to tell you about what we did with the Croft family yesterday. First we put our stuff in our rooms and then we fed the cows, the chickens and the dogs. Liam drove a motorcycle around Mr Croft's land, but I was too scared. After that, we got ready for dinner: home-grown steak on the barbeque. It was delicious! After dinner we went for a walk in the woods and it was so dark. It was so nice and we love the stay here!




Hey I’m Gwerne. Yesterday we got to meet our host families and it was pretty awesome. Besides the fact that they had overlooked the exact date that I was coming and didn't expect me yet... but they were very sweet and caring! I first unpacked and then we went to a friend and after that we went to the shop to get some typical australian food (which I can bring home with me to Belgium ). After that we ordered fish & chips, delicious!!! And then me and Caithlyn just sat outside and talked for a while. It was very nice! I am really enjoying my stay here with them!



Me and isaline were both hosted by Ankia and her family, they are very nice. We also hung out with Gwerne (and her host) and with Liam and Lendl (with their host). Later that night we watched a movie and it was very nice. 



Fien and I (Jasmine) are staying with Temilee's family and they are so nice. We went to Stockton Lake and had a picknick with cake and chips. They let us taste Lammingtons and TimTams (those are Australian snacks). Later that night we went back to Stockton Lake and we went swimming in the blue water and even jumped off a cliff. We love our stay with them!





I am Maaike, I slept at Brianah's. The first thing we did was a game, cluedo and I won. We also went to the supermarket and there we bought some typical Australian snacks that I definitely had to try and they were tasty. While we were eating the snacks we watched a movie. We also played games on the Wii and after that Brianah's mother made pasta for us and she had made a dessert that I had never eaten but it was super tasty. Brianah and her family are super friendly it is very nice to stay here and definitely a nice experience.

I am Aisha. I slept at Grace's. First we went gown shopping, because Grace has an upcoming ball. Then we went shopping together which was really nice. Her house is 45 minutes away from town. On the way home I saw 2 kangaroos which I found exciting. When we got home we were making jokes and I taught them some words in Dutch. They live on a farm, so they have sheep, 2 dogs, a cat and an alpaca. The alpaca didn’t really like me but I think he was cute. The next morning we went to feed the sheep, I was really scared because they were stepping on my toes. Then I went to school with the schoolbus together with Grace and her sister, which was a new experience for me. The food that her mom made was really delicious. I really appreciate it that I could get the chance to stay with a host family. I made new friends. I really hope I’ll see them again.
