I couldn't sleep or lie down in the boat becuse it was so small and there were too many people in it. we were all thristy and hungry.we didn't have enough water.one day our boat wouldn't work properly and pirates wanted to take our boat Indonseia.then we saw on Australia ship.the Australian ship helped us they gave us alot of food to eat and water to drink.we lived on the big Australian ship for four days.I had never seen a ship I like that in my life there were alot of airplanes on it too.the ship took us to Chrismas Island we lived on the for two months.Chrismas Island was so beautiful i liked it.then we transferred to Brisbane now I lived in Brisbane with my freind.My family is still in somalia.My history is end Iam 19yrs old and I come from Somalia.
