About the Author

That's me, doing one of my favourite things, riding.

So I am the author of this blog, a 14 year old girl. I am currently travelling around Australia with my parents and 4 siblings. I have loved travelling, and all the various experiences and places we have seen (did a post here on 9 favourite things about travelling).

I love reading, and especially like history and information books. I also like horses, drawing, photography, cooking, swimming, sewing, crocheting, and cross stitch. My favourite food is pasta. I am a christian, and my favourite book of the bible is Psalms

I chose to write this blog as a record of our travels. I have greatly enjoyed doing this, and I know my writing has improved by me doing this (what a great way to do English, and fun).

My favourite places of this trip have been:

-Swifts Creek, as the scenery was absolutely beautiful.

-The Kimberly, the sheer beauty of this region astounds me, and the water was perfect for swimming in, if there was no crocs.

-Exmouth, as the underwater life here was so varied. Even though we had a lot of dramas there, is still remains in my mind as a favourite place.

-Esperance, because of the beaches. Clear white sand, and turquiose water. I only with that it was bit warmer so I could swim in it!

My favourite camp spot so far has been Neds Camp, in Cape Range National Park, Exmouth.

There is also a website we (Dad and I) have created. It has reviews on all the towns we have visited, with accommodation, eating out, and places to visit.

So now I will introduce the rest of the family:

Tahlia

Tahlia (4): Tahlia is a cuddly, little girl aged 4. She is the baby of the family and doesn't want to grow up. She is quite dramatic, and loves playing imaginative games with Chloe. One of her favorite things (isn't it for every little girl?) is to pretend she is a princess, Rapunzel mainly because of her long blonde hair. She will all of a sudden burst out with "Gothel is the lowest, meanest, nastiest" and then stops. I could write a post on her funny quotes.

Chloe

Chloe (7): Chloe is a energetic 7 year old, that is constantly talking. She is a real chatterbox, and the things she talks about range so much it's funny. She is very quick and intelligent, and is currently enjoying doing schoolwork. She really loves riding her bike, and is quite energetic. She also likes to read, and likes to read stories together with Tahila.

Then there's me.

Joel, with a 93cm mulloway from Derby

Joel(15): Joel is a avid fisherman, that doesn't really catch any fish. But, the only fish he does catch are big and are good eating! He likes trying to fix things (and sometimes actually does fix things), and is extremely good at telling other people his opinions. Called 'black and white' quite often, Joel has very set ideas and will express what he thinks ten times over if he thinks we are not doing it the way he would.

Josh

Josh(17): Josh is the more sedate, (and slower) of the two boys. Very quiet, and extremely hard to get a photo of, we all love Josh in his own way. He is very bright, and has heaps of facts on the widest range of subjects. If we want to know something, we ask Josh. His general nicknames are Professor and Grandpa. He also loves taking photos, and some of the best ones are taken by him. He also likes taking multiples, just in case he missed something. He will go for long walks and come back with some absolutely beautiful photos.

And then there's Mum and Dad (no, I wont tell you their age), the best parents in the world.
