On Sunday, my bother, mum, dad and me went on a snorkelling trip. It was my first ever time on a catarmaran and the first time on a boat that I didn't get sick. We made some friends from Africa on the boat and they were funny. We went snorkelling and Jacob found a Reef Shark. Reef sharks do not eat humnas they only eat small fish.

After we went snorkelling we had lunch. Sausages! I liked my sausage! After that we palyed with our new friends until we arrived at another snorkelling place. At first I did not want to go in but I did. I was glad I did because we saw lots of bright blue, purple and yellow coral. On the way back to the boat we saw a green turtle. He was swimming very fast and it was hard to keep up.

Later that day when the tour was over we went fishing and my brother caught a fish. Infact he was the only one to catch a fish that we could eat. After he caught the fish we went back to camp and scaled him

Derby to Broome

Today after breakfast we paked up to leave Derby. We drove to the old prison and then to a prison boab tree. It was full of bees. A prison boab tree is a big tree with a huge whole in the middle of it and a skinny crack to get through. It stored the prisoners 100 years ago.

When we were crossing a bridge to Broome dad and me saw a fresh water crocodile. Dad turned around so my brother and mum could see. At Broome we are camping at Cable Beach Caravan Park. Me and my brother went to the pool for two hours and we made some friends. Back at our camp site we made friends with the family behind us. They come from Victoria as well.

Yesturday we flew in a helicopter and saw the bee hives. I was a little bit scared but it was also fun. We did some walks that were okay but a bit boring. There was a cave at the end of one but it was really dark and we had crappy torches to go exploring.

We packed up and did another walk this morning to Catherdral Gorge which had a big circle cave at the end. It was still really hot. We arrived this afternnon at Lake Argyle and their pool. I loved it so much!

Today we are at Bungle Bungles and it is very, very hot. Today was the hotest day on our trip. We had our first outside shower of our whole trip. On the way to the Bungle Bungles Jacob and I saw some Boab trees. If you are wondering what a Boab tree is, it is a tree that is fat and you can make a prison out of it. I gave them my own nickname, Fatty Boombar Trees.

Right before dinner i saw a kookaburra but my dad scared him away ( not on purpose). We can not have a fire here until it is winter again. How dumb is that. The mosies are out and bitting me!

first day 1

aiden-k — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 20:42:00 GMT

We drove for 12 hours. We left at 6:00am in the morning and I was very tired. I got over it. Our next stop was at Beaufort and we had breakfast there. We stopped for lunch and Jacob and I played on an old fashioed train in a park. The trip in the car was a bit boring, but at least i am not at school.
