At Dreamworld we got to go in early, because we bought tickets through RACQ, which is different to RACV. The first ride was The Cyclone for Dad and Kate. I didn’t want to go on, so Mum stayed off with me. We went down and the next ride was Thunder River Rapids and we got wet, but it was fun. Next in line was the Log Ride. We got drenched, otherwise it was a lot of fun. Then we went to the Motocoaster. Dad & Kate went on first, then we all had a ride. After that we went to have lunch. On the way Kate wanted to go on the Nickelodeon ride, so Dad went on with her. Had lunch then went to White Water World. The first ride we went on was the Temple ... read more

On the barge to Fraser Island we sat up top and when we started to get a chill, we came down and played DS in the car. When we got to Fraser we drove to Central Station, where it is dingo safe. It was nice there with the dingo fence around the campground. We kept taking day trips out to a lot of different places with all bumpy roads. We are camping on the beach for the last 2 nights. We have been on most of the roads around the island. Saturday night we drove to Eli Creek to see the high tide and saw a DINGO, FOR OUR FIRST TIME! WOW! They do say that a dingo can be vicious, but he looked so cute. He was only a pup. He pounced and played like ... read more

We came in to Black River and find our friends’ place (who we met at Longreach) which is a farm with lots of cattle. He drove out to the gate to let us in, but it took 5 minutes for him to drive from their house to the gate. When we arrived at the house, we chatted and not long after I got Richard’s whip and cracked it. A bit later Mum and Dad let me undo mine and crack it too. The dogs were scared. They are called JoJo, Spook, Girly, Floss, Womble and Buddy. They are all working dogs. They had an inside dog called Henry. He is very friendly. We went out on a mule (4-wheeler) to round up some cattle. I asked Richard if I could drive it - the answer was ... read more

Went to Kuranda and looked around the markets and up and down the streets. Then we went to the train station and Skyrail terminal. We bought tickets to ride the Skyrail from Kuranda to Caravonica (near Cairns). On the way down, we stopped at Barron Falls and Red Peak. At the bottom we had an ice cream whilst waiting for Mum’s taxi to pick us up. We went into Cairns and walked along the foreshore and marina. We had a look at the Cairns Night Markets - lots of Chinese imports, Chinese massages and Chinese food. Went to the Port Douglas markets and I saw some coconut faces (which remind Dad of Iain - only joking). I really liked them, so I bought one and Mum & Dad bought one called the House Protector. We are ... read more

We left Punsand Bay and headed down. We ended up at The Bend in Coen, next to a river or creek. Coming down I found a coconut and tried to crack it open. I couldn’t, so I will ask Dad if he could get it open for me to try it maybe. I am doing my writing, updated my travelblogs. It is hot up here and we’re wearing shorts, short sleeves and thongs. We get dirty feet as well as clothes, so we have to wash our feet a lot. In the morning, I asked if my Dad to open the coconut and he has already done it. I ate some of the coconut, and it tasted nice, just like coconut. I had to put it in the bin because we were leaving and there is ... read more
