Last Sunday I had a holiday in Australia. I visited a marine park called Sea World,
which is at surfers Paradise near Brisbane. It’s Australia’s largest marine park.
Truly, I had a wonderful day there.
The first thing I say was the Oceanarium. It is a place where visitors can watch
all kinds of fish and animals underwater. There were huge turtles, sharks and
beautiful tropical fish. The most exciting thing was watching a man feeding the
sharks. He wore a special diving suit.
Then, I watched the performing animals. The show was in a big outdoor swimming
pool. There were killer whales, dolphins and sea lions, and they did all kinds of
fantastic things in the water. One of the girls in the show rode about the pool on
the back of a big turtle.
After the show, I had lunch. There were several big restaurants at the park and I
had lunch in a restaurant that was shaped like a ship! Then, I watched a wonderful
water ski show which was held on a lake.
There were lots of things to do at the park. There was lake cruising, a train ride,
a big water slide, swimming pools and an incredible roller coaster called the
corkscrew-because it goes through three loops upside down. But I didn’t go on the
roller coaster. I wish I could do it next time.
