District Conference in Geraldton:
I flew with Gabiele and Billy (Italian and Taiwanes) down to Perth we're we went to Gerladton to the District Conference. It was awesome to see all Exchange Students from Perth again. Once in Geraldton we went to the Conference room where a lot of people had speeches and interesting talks about Rotary and the Youth.
The hole conference was from friday evening to sunday afternoon, we had to do some workshops and the most of the time we just sat there and we listened to the people who had a speech. Sometimes it was interesting and sometimes it was boring!
But we all had a great time with the 25 exchange students from al over the world.
When we drived back to Perth we stopped at famous rocks and we visitet a museum. (View the pictures)
Back in Kununurra:
After a great and especially cold weekend in Perth ( Geraldton) we landed save in Kununurra and we missed a 40degrees weekend, it was freezing in Perth with 15degrees!
At the next day I finally changed to my last Hostfamily for my exchange, I live now 4km out of town and it's really nice here, I have 1 younger and 1 older hostbrother and they are really nice, we also have a little dog as well. I live in my own room outside and I have a couch, a fridge and my own Tv and a big bed.
It's just awesome here and I love it so much!
MY PARENTS ARE HERE:
At monday after I went with a small airplane to Halls Creek and helped an optometrist, my parents arrived at arround 4:30 in Kununurra.
It was awesome to see them finally after 10months again and my mum and dad had tears in their eyes.

It's a special stone that you only can find here in the Kimberly region. It really looks like a zebra.
Wednesday: I surprised my parents with a boot tour from the dam at Lake Argyle down to Lake Kununurra, it's about 55km and you can see so much. We say snakes and kangaroos and of course we saw a lot of fresh water Crocodiles. The hole tour went for about 6hours and it finished with a beautiful sunset at Lake Kununurra.
Thursday: Andrea Bolten, a really nice Rotary Member from the Rotary Club of Kununurra took my parents and Billy and Gabriele out to wyndham and to the billabongs, that's a nice spot where a lot of birds and animals life. When we've been there we saw a King Brown snake, it was just 2m away from me and I didn't saw it, Gabriele told me and that I saw it as well. When this King Brown would bite my I would be dead in 1m, it's one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. When we arrived in wyndham we've drived up a hill to the 5 River lookout, it was beautiful and my parents loved it.
On the way home we stopped at The Grotto, it's a waterfall and it's just beautiful, we saw lizzerts and fishs and a lot of frogs.
Friday: I drived with my parents to EQ ( El Questro), I've walked with them to an other waterfall and we visited Zebede Springs. It's a Thermal bath, the water is the hole year arround 32degrees warm and it's really nice there, there are some frogs that just life there and no where else in the hole world....
After that we had a great lunch at the El Questro resort in the bush, I had a Steak Sandwich what were beautiful and my mum and dad had Barramundi, it's a local fish and it's really delicious.
Saturday: we got up at 4:30 and we drived away from our house at 5, we drived to Lake Argyle, it was a big event there. The lake Argyle Swimm, you can swimm in a team or alone 20km and it's pretty hard and you need a lot of good swimmers. We've been with my hostmum and her friends on a big houseboat and we had on it a Barbecue and good salad. Just a beautiful day with 34degees and the water was arround 27degrees warm, we swam as well but just next to the houseboat and not at the event. We drived home and in the evening, my dad, Gabriele, my hostdad and his friend and of course me we went to the Kununurra Speedway, it was on a race track that were round and different cars drived there and it was a lot of fun to watch them.
