Dear Mr. Moore,

I learned that the Australians kill kangaroos to eat them, they say that is a tradition for them to eat kangaroos. They make a fire with sticks in it and then they cook the kangaroos. The website was really cool for me, we learned a lot on the United Streaming

Dear Mr. Moore,
I learned that the Australia once followed british rules in 1788.
I also learned that they kill kangaroo to eat and that they cook it in dirt! Can you believe that
Australians rather eat kangaroo that a T-bone steak? Since "The Waltzing Matilda" is the most common song in Australia almost everyone there knows it! The original traditional food was English, but then was upstaged by food from Asia, Middle East, and more! I really enjoyed learning about Austalia!

Dear Mr. Moore,

In the computer room I learned some pretty interesting things about the Aborigines. The Aborigines dance to play respect for the stories they tell. The Digeridoo is really hard to play. You have to fill your mouth up with air, then blow, but keep the air going in a breathing called circular breathing. The Aborigines burn kangoroos, tear meat off of them, then bury them under ground for good luck. Poor kangoroo!

Dear Mr.Moore and Ms.Kay
I found alot of cool facts but because you said "Tell me something new that you learned about their culture".I will tell you that Australians beleive that kangroo's are a sprit and that men are the only one's that can hunt and prepare them.

What I that was interesting about Australia was that there are over 400 aborignal tribes. Australia is dry and poor and is mostly deserts. Australians are born travelers and they belive earth is an ancient gift.

Dear Mr. Moore,
I have ben looking at videos about Australia and I have ben findind out a ton of information. Here are some things I learned about Australia. Wining sports is a big thing for Australins. Some horse races that place hundreds of miles away from the nearest city. One main area is Birdsvill. Some people prefer to to fly into Birdsvill sence it is so far out in the plains. Two Austrilan scientists are numbered among Nobel Prize winers. The Waver and Eliza Hall instuite of Medical research located in melborn city Is recognized as a world leader in imunalogical cancer research, and innovations such as the bionic ear.
