Continent Box – Australia
Here is Australia’s continent box. It has the same basic things as my other boxes. I’d like to add a boomerang, some vegemite and a Wiggles & Crocodile Dundee movie.
Biomes of the World: Coral Reef
The next stop on our trip around the world was the Great Barrier Reef in Australia studying the coral reef biome. I especially loved this week because many years ago I used to scuba dive & this brought back many fun memories. Google defines a coral reef as: a ridge of rock in the sea …
