Here's a question to think about: What is your favourite holiday destination/vacation spot?

Mine is QLD, the Gold Coast. Beautiful beaches, yummy food and heaps of fun activities to do with the family :)

@Aurora: that sounds like an amazing work experience! Like Isabelle, my school didn't provide work experience, we had to seek out our own opportunities if we wanted them. I hope you have fun :)
