Tom: Good day, mate! 
Casey: Tom? Why are you dressed like that?
Tom: I’m crocodile Tom and this is Tommy. We’re taking a trip to Tom’s travels in 
 Australia. I brought photos for you! 
Casey: I didn’t know you went to Australia! 
Tom: I was there last year. 
Casey: How long were you there? Did you travel alone? 
Tom: I was there about two weeks. My cousin lives there. I have friends in Sydney, 
 so they showed me around. 
Casey: What places did you visit? 
Tom: I started in Melbourne. That’s where my cousin lives. We went to an amazing old 
 market there—Queens Victoria Market. 
 They had all sorts of stuff! 
Casey: Oh, wow! That looks great. How was the weather there? Was it cold? 
Tom: Yeah, it was a little cool there, so you need to take a jacket. Then I went to 
 Sydney. Look here. You have to take a boat trip to the harbor. 
Casey: That looks nice. 
Tom: After that I went to the Gold Coast. That’s north of Sydney. 
 There are beautiful beaches there. 
Casey: Wow. It almost looks like real gold. Did you get around by bus? 
Tom: No. Actually, I prefer traveling by plane. Australia is a huge country so bus trips 
 take too long. By bus, it takes about… eight hours to get from Sydney to Melbourne. 
Casey: Oh yeah. That’s long. So What else did you do? 
Tom: I went up the coast and went scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef. 
 You must go there! 
Casey: Absolutely! 
Tom: Oh, and this was the best part of the trip. I went to the most amazing 
 park—Kakadu National Park. 
Casey: That’s gorgeous. 
Tom: You can camp there, go hiking, and even make new friends! Casey? 
 Can you do me a favor while you’re in Australia? 
Casey: Yeah. Sure. What is it? 
Tom: Well, I made a cool friend at Kakadu National Park. Will you say hi?
Casey: Sure. How Will I find your friend? Do you have an e-mail address? 
Tom: No, but he lives at the park. Take this 
Casey: Tom!
Tom: What?
Casey: That’s a crocodile! 
Tom: His name’s Tommy. I named this after him. Please say hi!
