Our 4x4 WA Great Adenture

Spear fishing

Today I went Spear fishing and speared 2 brown mud crab. The male fell off so Aiden speared it and he got it! It was the best thing ever! For the rest of the day our whole tour group didn't spear anything. THE KONISZKO FAMILY ARE THE BEST SPEARERS! Mum and I found massive angle fish. It was a great day.

cape leveque

Arrived at Cape Leveque yesturday from Broome. Dropped the trailer at our camp site and we drove off to the clear blue waters for a swim. Today we drove to One Arm Point to the Turtle Hatchery. I got to hand feed a massive barramundi. It neally took my fingers off! I frightened a huge Green Turtle and it's head went back under water at lightening speed.

We arrived back up at camp to grap some supplies and head out to the beach for a snorkel at low tide. I saw heaps of fish. At least 12 differnt species. We also saw huge sea cucumbers, coral, rock oysters, sea urchins and sea anenamees. Mum also thinks she saw a sting ray and a hump back whale breaching just out to sea. I was having too much fun jumping in the waves with my new camp friends to notice. I am looking forward to going on a tour tomorrow to make my own spear for fishing like the traditional Bardi aboriginals.

Please!!!!!

Day 13

jacob-k — Sun, 2 Oct 2011 20:06:00 GMT

Today we woke up, Aiden and I played Fruit Ninga and Need For Speed HD on the Android Tablet. I finaly finshed the book I was reading which was 305 pages long. I found out that I got bitten by another March fly and that now makes around 30 bites. Finaly we were on the road again from Derby to Brome. On the way we stoped to see the Old Derby Police Goal and the Boab Prison Tree. The tree's girth (diameter) is 14m wide with only a small hole for the prisoners to get through. I hope they were all skinny. We arrived at Brrome just in time to grab some brochures from the Information centre on how to identify different types of fish in WA. I am hoping to go fishing tomorrow.

Wolf Creek

Today we woke up about 6:00am and left our campsite about 8:00am. Still on the Tanami Track we left the track to see Wolfe Creek Meteor Crater. It is the second biggest crater in the world. When the meteor hit the ground it made a crater 850m in diameter. $

40 kms out of town our fuel gague read 0.Aiden and idn't realise but mum and dad were very woried. We stopped in town (Halls Creek) to get some fuel and refreshments. It was 38 degrees and felt like the Sahara Deseet, After another hour we stopped beside a river to camp for the night.

second day

jacob-k — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 09:05:00 GMT

We woke up at 5:00 in the morning......had no sleeep. We were on the road again. We drove for another 12 hours. there were many stops for petrol along the way until we reached Alice Springs. Just before we reached Alice Springs the sky turned grey right before our eyes. The trees turned black with only a fewspots of green. We heard on the news later that night that the fire had been deliberalty lit.On arriving at the caravan site we saw a jumping pillow and pool. Aiden and I were so excited. After we finished unpacking we wnet tpo the jumping pillow. I made some new friends but Aiden was really shy.....which was unlike him. Later that night we went to the pool to try the new skim ball. I through the longest over three pools. My last shot went flying and we lost the ball to the bushes.

The beginning of our great aadventure

Today we were woken at 6:00 in the morning to begin our great adventure. We spent 12 hours in the car and stopped lots of times for petrol and snacks. The first day was pretty boring but better than being at school. I ate, watched movies, played on Android Tablet and my DS, so my day was just how i like it!
