It is called Goondiwindi. It has a population of about 6000 people. 2) Our closet capital is Brisbane which is almost 500 kms away. It takes us about 5 hrs to drive there. Sydney is over 700kms away and it takes forever to get there! There are closer cities to us though. Toowoomba, Tamworth and Armidale are about 3 hrs drive with populations between 50 000 and 120 000. Thank you for your answers!

Questions from Kingsclear Consolidated School:

Picture 1: How big is the North Star Australia? North Star has only about 40 - 50 people living in it while we only have 7 streets in the entire town!

Picture 2: Is that grass or wheat in picture 2? That is a picture of canola. Picture 3: How long does the river go and are there sharks or jelly fish in the water? That section of water is about 150m long, though not all of the creek has water all the time. It feeds into another bigger creek. No, there are no sharks or jelly fish, they are coastal animals and we live too far inland. There are yabbies and maybe some frogs. Picture 4: Did people carve those rocks into faces? Do people go on hikes on the rocks? No, they have just been eroded naturally. Yes people hike on the rocks and they also jump off them into the water.
