Cockatoo Island 2009

Me and mum went camping at Cockatoo Island for a night. We do this every year with the Mother's Group, except we might go to a different island next year. It was a bit different to last year. They changed the tents. There's a house you can stay in if you want. And more people know about it now.

The most awesomest thing this year was that we didn't have to catch a ferry to the island. Instead, my friend Jaya picked me and mum up in her speed boat from near where we live! We went so fast across Sydney Harbour, it was really bumpy because we were flying across the waves and wakes of other boats.

We had Christmas dinner in the outdoor dining room, a treasure hunt with a pinata at the end. This is me bashing the pinata.

When we woke up the next morning, we saw a whole heap of people swimming around the island...weird!
