On Friday night my family and I went to a 21st birthday party. In Australia your 21st birthday is really special and most people have a party. It is special because when you turn 21 you are considered an adult. It is tradition to give the person a key and for their parents to give a speech.

The person who was having the party is our family friend Claire. She was born in South Africa but moved to Australia with her family a few years ago. It is also tradition at a 21st party for relatives and family friends to be invited kind of like at weddings.

The party was held at a hotel in Fremantle. Fremantle is a port city south of Perth. It was a really nice party and we all had fun.
