We went to Bell Gorge, the rocks were very slippery and the water was cold. When you walked into the water, you slid along the rocks, like a slide, except you are on your feet. Next was Tunnel Creek. You had to take a torch with you to find your way through to the other side. There was a break-in on the roof of the cave and people said on the left after the break-in was crocodiles. But we only saw the eyes of one in the water, then they disappeared. So we went “that’s a crocodile”. At Windjana Gorge we saw lots of freshwater crocodiles. One had its mouth open and we saw one that was 20cm long. It was a baby. Not much at Derby, only stayed one night, but there were high tides ... read more

When we crossed the border from NT into WA we had to put our clock back 1½ hours. This meant that we hadn’t even finished lunch yet, but we had already had it. The time changed from 3.30pm back to 2pm. Wyndham had a giant crocodile sitting outside the post office on some soft grass. Dad took my photo by it, and the croc was smiling. At the caravan park where we stayed there was a Bush Donkey that lived there. It came around Brekkie and Dinner Times for veggies and bread and whatever he could get. I reckon he was cute. I had a plane flight over the Bungle Bungles at 6am in the morning from Kununurra. It took over 2 hours to get to the Bungle Bungles and back. We also flew over the ... read more

We finally got internet service in Darwin. I liked the Cyclone Tracy display at the Museum. There was a room that had sounds like Cyclone Tracy. It was very loud, dark and scary. In Darwin we had lots of swims in the pool at the caravan park. We went to see the WWII Tunnels that were built to store oil in, but were not finished until after the war ended and were never used. We got to walk inside 1 of them. It had lots of water running in the tunnel. It had photos of the bombing that Japan did to Darwin in WWII. One day, when the car got a snorkel put on, we walked to the Aircraft Museum - the home of the B52. There were lots of planes in there. The B52 took ... read more

Went to Rainbow Valley for the night. They had dingoes there. I saw someone with a torch. I thought it was a dingo. We left the next morning and went to Ayers Rock. The climb was closed because it a little windy. We went and walked around the Olgas instead. At Curtin Springs where we camped an emu chased me at breakfast time to try and get my sausage, but I won. Before we left Dad rang Uluru Information and found out the climb was open. We went back and I climbed to the top of Ayers Rock, but not the highest point in the middle. It was very hard and it was very hot and I was tired. Went to Kings Canyon the next day and did a 6km walk then stayed at Palm Valley. ... read more

Left Coober Pedy and followed another dusty road to Oodnadatta and had lunch at the Pink Roadhouse. I got a PINK stubby holder - everything was pink, except the swing. We had to stop to fix the broken rear windscreen. Got to Dalhousie Springs camp at dark again and there were lots of mozzies and sandflies there. We used Aerogard, but it didn’t work! In the morning had a swim in the hot springs. It wasn’t too hot by the stairs, but there were lots of fish and they were whacking my legs. It was freezing when I got out. Saw a dingo hanging around the campsite. Some people were feeding it, so it stayed around the campsite. We drove through Finke, and there was lots of rubbish outside the Aboriginals houses. Didn’t stop for lunch, ... read more
