Share the Power of a Wish® “I wish to go to Australia”

Seven year-old David of Orange County adores animals and likes to have steak at Outback Steakhouse. He must have developed a love for the Land Down Under, because when asked about his wish, he told Wish Granters he wanted to see a Kookaburra bird – native only to Australia!
