Week 50 - Boomerang Princess, Healesville

As part of our Australian holiday, Mum, Dad and I took the kids to Healesville Sanctuary in the Yarra Valley to see koalas, kangaroos, dingoes, platypus and an amazing free flight bird show.  After the bird show, this man came out and played the didgeridoo (an aboriginal musical instrument) and demonstrated boomerang throwing. At the end of his show he said, and I quote "If you'd like to buy a boomerang I have some for sale here for $15, but at the end of the show I like to give away my boomerang to the girl with the most beautiful smile" and then proceeded to walk all the way around the arena and climbed over seats in front to Jie Jie, and said to her "Here you go Princess, you're beautiful".  Jie Jie was gobsmacked, and Didi was very jealous.  Loads of people bought them, and then we went down and he gave her a quick throwing lesson.  Jie Jie couldn't get the smile off her face all day!!  Highlight of our visit to Healesville!!
