Dear Mom,
What an adventure: the train drive was so exciting. I would like to let you know that I dearly appreciate my fresh apple that I clutched in my hand and ate on the station platform; my jam sandwich was amazing and super nice and tasty. And my small toffee, well that was just the best treat ever I bet that took so many rationing deals to get that, thank-you so much. I thoroughly enjoyed my food. But we stopped by multiple train stations to stop and switch trains it was very tiring; to make it worse all of the trains were extremely slow. Luckily, there were beautiful fields and different species of trees it was breath-taking. Awkwardly, there were also some black and grey clouds grazing in the meadows none of the children knew what they were except from the driver, did you know that sheep grazed in meadows?

When we ventured off the train, all of the children including me were quickly escorted to a small village hall, based in Rockhampton. We were greeted by many adults sitting down and looking us up and down, we all knew we were all going to get chosen now which could be good or not so peaceful. Suddenly, an officer walked through the door and peered at everyone. A large bell rang and one lady pointed at me and said you, I want you stand up young boy you are with me now. The officer ran over and gave the lady , what they call a law slip. Minutes later I was taken to a small but lovely cottage nestled in a spruce forest small lanterns surrounded the house, a few fields.
