I am a 12 year old girl am stranded in Australia. It might
sound stupid but I haven't found any people yet. I was sailing in
the night with my friend Kaisla when we hit a storm. I bonked my
head on the mast and fell off board. I woke up when my dogs pulled
me onto dry land.I had no idea of where I was until I saw my first
koala. I built myself a nest of leaves in a tree since it was
getting dark.
In the night I felt something climb into my lap. I screamed
thinking it was a snake! But when I felt its warm soft fur, I
realized it was a small koala. In the morning I picked fruits and
eucalyptus tree leaves for breakfast. I washed my teeth with the
sea water and had a swim. I got really scared when Isaw a shark in
the distance (I jumped out of the water immediately). After that
I wondered around and looked at my surroundings.
I collected wood and food that I found. Wood for a fire in the
evening when the air is hot but full of mosquitoes, and food for
dinner. I have been living like this for 5 days.
I always wanted to visit Australia but I didn't imagine it to
be this way!
I saw one of these enormous long snakes on one of my trips. I
backed away from it as fast as I could. Most of the animals here
are new to me.
When you come will you please bring some food for us , we are
starving!(the food here is not very filling. Try to find my friend
if you get a message from her (other wise how can you).
