Hi people, it's Leo here. Do you know about the Aurora Australis? It is a ship and it is a very old ice breaker (launched in 1989). It has a hole in its' hull. So, now it is at the dock not far from my hotel in Hobart. I can see it from the window of my hotel room. It has lots of lights, it is sitting there for repairs. Well, we went down to the dock and there are tram tracks around the dock that are from the old cranes and pulley's. I saw lost of boats, I had lunch there - fish and chips because they do really good seafood. I also saw one seal, it had its blubber on so, it was a very fat one. I think it came into the dock waiting for a seafood chef to feed him. But the chef didn't feed him.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. A while ago I went to a little Cottage shop and made this small square rug. I made the rug because it was one of the activities that you could do there. I thought it was good and I wanted to make one for my mum. The ladies at the Cottage were trying to teach me to sew in a straight line and I think I succeeded!. I made half of it and Mum made half of it after we got home. At the Cottage shop I also bought a miniature goblet made of wood, it is one of the most amazing things I have.

Until next time

Story filed: Skeletons

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today we are talking about skeletons. I don't like them - you probably don't either. We have skeletons in our body, to me they are a bit scary! There are all kinds of bones in a skeleton and there are a lot of them. There is the skull; the bone that keeps your head in shape and it protects your brain, there is the funny bone; when you get hit in the funny bone, you sometimes laugh...don't you? There are the rib bones, there are the legs bones, arm bones and finger bones. Your nose doesn't have a bone, your nose is hard cartilage. Your ear doesn't have a bone, it is hard cartilage as well. Have you ever broken a bone? Trust me it is not fun, I know this because I had broken a bone before. It was very sore.

Until next time

Story filed: Birthdays

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today we are talking about birthday parties. Do you like your birthday parties? I like my birthday parties because birthday parties are about celebrating you, getting older - I am sure the best part is about the cake and the presents. I love the presents and I have had some very good presents, some very very good presents. Christmas is like that, where you get presents but you are celebrating some one else's birthday. Last time I had a birthday party I got a really cool "Dig and Play Egyptian Tomb" box from a guy called Hugh. The Egyptian stuff was a hammer and a digging knife - they were special ones - the object of the game was that you had to chip away at a rock and try to find some objects in it. I found the sarcophagus last. So then I opened sarcophagus and found the rest of the pieces for the game. It was like a discovery. The best bit was digging the objects out - my friends helped me.

Until next time

Story filed: Mystery

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today we are doing a mystery column. Who put these posters up? Have you seen these posters? Do you know who put them up?  They are 'Wanted' posters. We do not put them up not in the city anymore but in the police station we do - that's where the wanted posters are put up. A wanted poster is showing that someone is a baddie and needs to go to jail and people see this and whoever catches this person and brings them to the Cops, they get a reward. Mostly it's money..... like, a lot of money. These posters say Thief: jewellry, Banks, shops, stuff stolen. Reward $700 million and two dollars.

Until next time
