Once upon a time, there lived a Kangaroo and his 

name was Cowala. Cowala was a very young 

Kangaroo, so he still had to attend Roo-Roo School. 

Currently, Roo-Roo School was cancelled, due to the 

annual bushfires that burnt their area. Normally, the 

other Kangaroo's loved this time of the year 

because they were able to have fun. But not 

Cowala... because he had an annual problem. What 

was the best way to spend his holidays? Until, one 

day when he had and idea. "Why don't I go on a 

road trip across Australia, surely that would be fun"  

So Cowala planned and planned for his road 

trip of Australia. He picked places all across 

Australia that he would visit and learn about. 

He became so excited for his trip that he 

decided to leave the following day. So he 

packed spare pouches and boxing gloves. Then 

went to bed for an early wake the next 

morning. 

Cowala set off on his journey at the crack of dawn. 

After a long morning of hopping and boxing, Cowala 

finally reached his first destination... The Great 

Barrier Reef. As soon as he got there he was amazed 

not just by the beauty of the Reef but by what lived 

within it. Cowala found that there were around thirty 

different species of whales, dolphins and porpoises 

within the Reef. He also noticed that seventeen 

different species of sea snakes live in the Reef and 

that six species of sea turtles come to the reef to 

breed. There were so many different species of fish 

that Cowala lost count after a thousand five hundred 

and he couldn't begin to describe the many vibrant 

colours of the coral.

Cowala had travelled all the way up to Far North 

Queensland and made it to his second destination... 

Cape York. Cowala was in awe once he saw Cape 

York's beautiful landscape, in fact he was just in awe 

at seeing a Peninsula. He had finally crossed off 

number twenty-two off his bucket list - to come to 

largest unspoiled wilderness in northern Australia 

and one of the last remaining wilderness areas on 

Earth. Cowala had become sad once he realised that 

the wildlife is threatened by introduced species and 

weeds. But was soon over joyed when he saw his 

mates Barry and Garry.
