2. Mrs. Stewart 454 South Main Street Sharon, MA 02067 April 4, 2009 Dear Mrs. Stewart, There is so much to do and see in Australia. I visited the capital city of Canberra. I hiked in the mountains and the desert. I even went swimming in the ocean and saw the Great Barrier Reef, the largest coral reef in the world. Tomorrow I am going to visit a museum to learn about the original people of Australia, the Aborigines. There are many interesting animals here like the kangaroo,the wombat, and the koala bear. I also visited Sydney, the largest city, where there is a beautiful opera house. Australia is so much fun, that I think I might visit again next year! Sincerely, Ms. Shapiro
