         tussle between the corkscrew bermuda triangle.ahm.the plume ride
         and the pirate. the first time I was really scared to go on.the
         corkscrew but then my brother encouraged me to go on.and then I
         went on it like about twelve times.the.the the Bermuda Triangle.I
         wasn’t that scared but I was a little bit scared but then I loved
         it

         two. and the same with the pirate in ahm.ninety-two again.ahm.in
         Seaworld  I really liked the Lethal Weapon it’s just thrills all
         the way.you don’t.y-y- you’re really scared
(Movieworld
all throughout the ride.no.the Lethal Weapon at Movieworld..and
         ahm.and  ahm.
(sneeze)
bless you
bless you
thank you
and ahm..at Movieworld I really liked ahm.the Batman ride all the
         rides.I-I couldn’t.it’s really hard for m-for me to say which.which
         theme park like as a whole.although I-I do like a couple of rides
         at the.Dreamworld such as the. dodge’em car.ahm one of my favourite
         ahm. theme parks..I mean. we all enjoyed Seaworld a lot
yeh
probly more family enjoyment there.....yeah....ok and ahm..what about
         Brisbane? Brisbane’s (more like Melbourne) wouldn’t you agree, mum?
?
???
yeh it’s alright
it’s more like the city.yeh
yeh looks like the city
yeh
like going to the city here
yeh ??
Sydney I think ahm.going to the city there is more chaotic
???
??......ahm REDACTED, what d’you think of
         Sydney?
ahm.it was quite enjoyable the traffic.was a lot.and when we went on
         the. bridge road it was very far and all the people looked like (?)
         like little people like.and ants.and when you have to go on the
         (binoculeers) you don’t really have to pay
yeh at Centrepoint tower we didn’t have to pay for the
         binoculars.when we went to Rialto it was like a dollar (?) for
         about a minute or something.can’t really remember but anyhow
but
?revolving when you went on the.tower in Sydney? ??
?
revolving?
it’s revolving
I didn’t really.I didn’t really feel it unless ahm.
but I think (?) much higher up though
yeh
Centrepoint is (??) at the Rialto
no the Ria-the Rialto is more higher
yeh??more higher
do you think so?
no???northern hemisphere
(yeh it’s supposed to be the tallest building)
oh is it?
yeh
(I thought it was) higher
(southern hemisphere)
southern hemisphere
yeh alright
but I-but I mean.like the.the  Centrepoint shop it was  better like
         (??)
I thought it was prettier though.to watch out of
         the.Centrepoint than ??
and the binoculars were free.the binoculars were free
like you could just look through (?) and you could go outside and
         look at binoculars outside which was really good..yeh I thought
         that was good
and ahm (??), w-what’d you think of Centrepoint tower?
?????
pardon, REDACTED?
??
we stayed.for a day
a.a day but ???
next time we go I’d like to go for more time in Sydney
yeh
yeh, but if ???
next time we go for a holiday we should drive by car
yeh
yeh
next time we should go up car
(??)make stops on what we like.like
like McDonalds or something
next time it would be nice to go by car
yep
because by plane
