Tangalooma (by Rosie)

In September me and my Family went to Tangalooma.

We went swimming, snorkeling (in the pool), kayaking, sailing, fishing, watched some people feed dolphins, played some mini golf and did some archery

The girls with their fish. Matilda caught two and Rosie one - their first catches ever - during our September holiday.

Getting old fashioned to celebrate Brunswick North West Primary's 75th anniversary

This windmill was erected at our school as part of the big celebration. The school, though close to the city centre, prides itself on its rural setting - complete with chook shed and veggie garden.
