HELP!
 
Dear reader,
 
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).
 
Yours truly,
 
Akkinis Lebasi Nosnibor.
