Home

We've landed and even managed to get a compliment from the QANTAS staff. Well done everyone, enjoy the week-end.

Welcome Home!

We DID IT!

Boarding the plane for home. (Yeah!)

Home time

We are totally on our way home soon!

More Zoo and heading for home

We have learned today:
- That a giraffes tongue is 40cm long and a blue colour (so that it doesn't get sun burnt … the tongue that is)
- That giraffes (unlike teachers) don't need sleep … and unlike Mrs Prior thought, don't make noises (unlike 103 Calvary students!)
- The Chambers in Parliament House are a different colour to those in Old Parliament House. In Parliament House they are Eucalypt Green and River Red Gum Red.
- The Opposition endorse 90% of the Government's bills (unlike the media would have us believe).
- That a member of the Princess's wants to walk the plank (a pirate thought!)
- A Queenslander is the President of the Senate
- The Current Speaker of the House (Harry Jenkins) is the son of a former speaker!
- The Israeli embassy along with the USA Embassy are the most heavily fortified.
- The Chinese and the USA have the largest Embassies in Canberra.
- Students can't tell the difference between right and left … or stop and go … or how to walk in a straight line.
- Finally, that everyone will sleep VERY well tonight, and quite possibly most of tomorrow!
