Map of where all the students live
Went to the School of the Air in Alice Springs. They had a map and it showed every student they had, they were spread all over the Northern Territory. It is the biggest classroom in the world. Some kids are over 500km away and they have school between 8am to 5pm - but only have classes for 4 hours a day.
Went to Emily Gap, Jessie Gap and Ruby Gap. At Ruby Gap I found Garnets in the river bed. The water must have washed the Garnets up near the rocks where I found them. My Mum and Dad found some spots as well. They look like glass that is pinky-red. On the way back to camp we saw some Donkeys and one had really fuzzy ears (the one on the right). They looked really soft.
Trephina Gorge was really pretty and we did a big walk up and around the top of the Gorge. On the way back we found a small waterhole. I pretended to fall in.
