Day 1. - Saturday 24 April
Finally, I am off to Sydney. It is the best birthday present!

Day 2. - Monday 26 April
It is a beautiful day today! I went to see my exhibition at Customs House, then Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Tomorrow will be a brilliant day. I will start with going up in the Tower in the morning.

Day 3. - Tuesday 27 April
There's lots of modern buildings here and I like the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it looks great! Went up to Sydney Tower, the view is amazing and I memorised what I am drawing today, so far I am very happy with what I have done, lots of photographers and met many people. See you tomorrow.

Day 4. - Wednesday 28 April
Today got up very early as I was invited to the Keri-Anne show on Channel 9 and I came back to the hotel to watch myself on the show. It was excellent. I looked great. Later on had lots of interviews and I continued doing my work, I think I'll finish it tomorrow! Had lunch and saw the view of Sydney Harbour Bridge and just as we were finishing lunch the seagulls ate my sisters mashed potato, she didn't like it anyway. Looking forward to finishing my work. Lots of Australian people came to see me. I signed my autograph and had lots of photographs taken. Have been working very hard and looking forward to relaxing my hotel room.

Day 5. - Thursday 29 April
Started a bit later today, worked on completing my drawing of Sydney. I have finished it now and I'm very proud of my work. Lots of people came to see me and I signed autographs and did photos. Did a few interviews. I bought some sunglasses today and I think I look great. At 1 o'clock I went for lunch with my sister and my friend Chris and Chris and I had chicken burgers without avocado, my sister had beefburger without cheese. My burger tasted delicious. After 4:30pm we left Customs House and took a taxi to the aquarium. I wanted to go because I like sharks. I saw crocodiles, penguins, sea horses and lots and lots of fish. I liked the crocodiles best. I've had a long day and feeling quite tired now, so will rest in my hotel room and watch some tv. Looking forward to tomorrow for signing my work.

Day 6. - Friday 30 April
This was my last day today at Customs House and it was brilliant! I did a speech and so did my sister Annette but mine was better, hers was alright. Lots of people clapped after my speech and I signed my signature on my Sydney drawing in front of VIP guests and my fans. Now that I have finished my work here in Sydney I can now relax and see the sights. My sister bought me some binoculars for a late birthday present and I am very pleased with them, I can see so much detail. It's great! I'm off to enjoy my weekend now. I had a great time and will definitely return!
