After our hike to Moore State Park, we came home to find a package from Australia!  We have been waiting for our “exchange student” (aka Travel Buddy) since we sent Rocket off to Muswellbrook, Australia last month.

We are so happy Kiki the Koala is finally here.  We can tell KiKi’s family cares about her a lot.  They made her a beautifully painted travel box which included a pillow and a blanket.  She came with a passport and a journal.  The journal had some entries to teach us about Koalas.  We are going to journal her visit with us so her family can learn about the USA.  We were delighted to find some souvenirs in the box for us including an Australian flag, postcards, coins, bookmarks, tattoos, a wombat puzzle,and notecards.
