Announcer: The Gold Coast? Is that the place where Captain James Cook landed in 1770? Philip: Er…yes, he landed on the east coast and raised the British fl ag there. Anyway… Dreamworld has a lot of attractions, like roller-coaster, and lots more. There’s a special place in Dreamworld – Koala Country, with a full day’s entertainment.
Announcer: What about the well-known Australian animals? Can visitors see them in Dreamworld? You know, typical Australian animals: kangaroos, emus…
Philip: Yes, and koalas too. You can even cuddle a koala and take a photo with it.
Announcer: Oh, I know a lot of children would love to do that.
Philip: (laughing) And grown-ups too! Well, I could tell you a lot more about Dreamworld, but why not come and see everything with your own eyes? You know, once seen never forgotten.
Announcer: Thank you, Philip. Well, listeners, why not travel to the Gold Coast with the Pacific Touring Company for a holiday to remember.
