Today we are going to NewCastle by train. The train was very fast! It took is there in three hour and fifteen minutes. We bought the ticket to the bush.

We went in and saw huge amount of leaves laying on the ground. I picked one up and saw somethings interesting. There was a bushfire picture on it! I quickly throw it on to the hard ground. Then I turn to Mum and said 'Mummy that leave is burning.' My Mum turned to the leave then the boring stoped, we saw a number instead the number was '16'. After I picked up a other leave, that picture shows people is coming to put out the fire! Then a number come out again '15'.

We collected all the leaves the bush and put them in order. Then all of a suddenly the piece become one!!! Then a short video came out. After we told this to the Australian government and they say ' what an amazing discovery!'. Then we got payed $500,000. After all of this adventure we got home and had a rest.
