Darwin and Kakadu

Hello everybody! We have been up in Darwin. I have now got Beyond the Grave and 1 of Card Pack 2: Branch vs. Branch. We have been to the Mindil Markets.....twice!! We had dinner on the beach. We went to a recreation centre where there was this big waterpark! We had loads of fun. We drove go-karts after. They were fun. The next day we had a look at the city centre of Darwin. There are only 3 main streets, it is very small compared to Sydney! We had dinner at a restaurant where we could sit down on a big cushion and have dinner at a bench that is very close to the ground. Then we went back. The next day we left Darwin to go to Kakadu National Park. We stayed at an actual town in the national park. It is called Jabiru. We had a look at lots of intresting aboriginal art on the rocks. We went on a cruise that we had to wake up at 5:30 NT time for (that is 6:00 eastern standard time). We went along South Alligator river. That evening we went with Justin, Daniel, Ryan, Rob and Lee to a place called Ubirr where we went up to a lookout to watch the sunset. This was our last night together before they split up with us. So that night we got to have a late swim in the pool (because we were having dinner at a restuarant in the caravan park that is in the pool area. We had fish and wedges. Then we watch a movie then a few Spongebob episodes (Justin and I watched Star Wars Robot Chicken while Daniel, Ryan and Jared watched Garfield Funfest, then Justin and I watched Spongebob on our own). The next day we had to say a sad goodbye and say "See you in September" (they are coming to our place when they approach Sydney on their way down the east coast). We are heading down the middle of Australia while they are heding into Queensland and going down the coast. We were going to stay at Katherine (again!) but we couldn't get in. So right now we are staying at a place called Mataranka.
See ya when I see ya,

The Kimberly and the NT

Hi everybody! Right now I am in the NT. We have travelled from Broome to Derby, then free camped at Windjana Gorge then we went to Fizoroy Crossing, then a free camp at a rest area called Springs Creek, then Kununurra. Then we moved into the Northern Territory. From there we went to Timber Creek, then to Katherine and right now I type these word in Tumbling Waters, 80kms from Darwin. Up in Darwin I will be getting Book 4 of the 39 clues, Beyond the Grave and Card Pack 2, Branch vs. Branch. I will see you all when I get back.

Broome

Hi everybody! We have travelled from Point Samson, Cape Keraudren, Barn Hill and now Broome. We are going to stay a week here. I have realised thatthey haven't found a realise date for the 4th 39 clues book of the 39 clues. What a shame!!!!!! Rob, Lee, Justin, Daniel and Ryan are on the other side of the caravan park. Tomorrow we are going to go to the beach. It is called Cable Beach (like the name of our caravan park, Cable Beach Caravan Park).

Heading West

We went from Albany to Walpole yesterday. We went on a Tree Top Walk. We walked over a wobbly bridge at the treetops. These were called tingle trees. Then we went to see the Giant Tingle Tree. It was...well...giant. We stayed the night at Walpole. We saw many kangaroos there. The next day we went from Walpole to Pemberton.
We saw a tree with runs so you could climb to the very top of it. It was called the Glouster Tree. It is 58 metres high. It was used to be used as a fire lookout. Tonight we are in Pembleton.
Bye for now

The South Coast

Hi. Sorry I took so long to report back. We haven't had the time to update all our blogs. We went from Esperence to Hopetoun and stay there 1 night. The next day we drove south to a place called Bremer Bay. We went to the beach and played some tennis on the tennis courts. They were free to hire. WOW!! Then we went to the Stirling Ranges N.P. We stayed 1 night there. We also climbed the highest mountain of the Stirling Ranges. It is called Bluff Knoll. We walked 3km up and then 3km down. When we reached the submit we were 1094m above sea level. I'm a CHAMPION!!!!!! Then we went to Katanning to see how my Nan and Pop were going. They broke down in Katanning so they are spending a few nights there while they get fixed up. We went to Gilberts Winery, near a place called Mt Barker. Then we stopped in Albany for a few nights. We have visited lots of amazing places in Albany. Tomorrow we head for a place called Walpole.

Then we visited a park that had inflatable water slides. It was cool. The next day we went to Cape Le Grand National Park. We climbed the rocks at Cape Le Grand Beach, played, swam and ate at Lucky Bay and played I spy at Rossier Bay. We had a great time at Esperence. Right now I am in Hopetoun.

Kalgoorlie-Boulder

Hi. Today we were out and about in Kalgoorlie (and Boulder). First we went to the WA museum of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. It was cool! We learned about the Super Pit and how they organised gold when they found it. Then we went to Mt Charlotte Lookout. Amazing!!! Then we had Lunch in McDonalds (very suprising). Then we saw an explosion in the Super pit. It was awesome (Mum says she wants to work there). Then we went to the little Boulder Sweet Shop. They had loolies and sweets from past and present. Wow! Then we went grocery shopping. Tommorrow we think we might go to Esperence.

Nullarbor Plains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everybody! I actually got internet reception!! So I am posting another post. Today I woke up at 7:00 because I promised Micheal I would meet him there at that time. Soon we left. We had morning tea and lunch on the side of the road. Then we went to the Head of Bight (The Head of the Great Australian Bight). The view was brillant. Jared and I thought it was an Ekaterina Base. We thought it for 2 reasons.
1: There was some kind of Dragon shape on the cliff (The Dragon is the symbol of the Ekaterina) and
2: There was lots of space under the cliffs and rocks.
We are staying at Nullarbor Roadhouse in the Caravan Section tonight. Tomorrow night we are doing our first free camping night.

Almost at the Nullabor.....

We went from Elliston to Ceduna yesterday. We had morning tea at Port Kenny, Streaky Bay for a toilet stop, and Smoky Bay for lunch. We had a bit of a paddle at Smoky Bay. Then we arrived at Ceduna. We couldn't find our caravan park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But soon we found it. The next day we made 2 friends. Their names are Micheal and Petria. They are very nice. I taught them The 39 clues. Even their Mum is intrested!! Micheal is a Tomas and Petria is Ekaterina. I won't be updating my blog for a while because as we cross the Nullabor, we won't get very good internet reception. Bye for now.

Port Neill to Elliston

Hi, everybody. Sorryu I took so long to write. The computer didn't let me publish my post! We went to Orroroo in South Australia. We had a meeting in the morning and decided that we would go to a place called Port Gibbon. We drove and had morning tea in Port Augusta. We had lunch in Whyalla. When we arrived I realised that we were free camping at Pt Gibbon. When arrived at the free camping spot, it was packed! So we decided we would travel another 50-60 kms and to a place called Port Neill. We stayed the night there. In the morning we set off. We had morning tea at Port Lincoln. I got another 39 clues card pack there. We had lunch at Coffin Bay. We arrived at where we are staying, Elliston. We booked in to our caravan park. Mum, Nan, Jared and I went to see a HUMOUGUS wharf. It took what felt like an hour to get to the end and back. See ya all later.

Broken Hill and South Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were in Broken Hill two nights. We stayed at Broken Hill City Caravan Park. It had a great pool and playground. On our full day there we went to a place called Silverton. It was a historical town. Only 10-100 people still live there since it was built 1881. We went to two art gallerys. That afternoon Mum, Dad and I went to an art gallery with paintinmgs painted buy Howard William Steer. He had such amazing (and humourous) paintings. The next morning when we left, we went to see him again, but this time we brang Jared with us. I bought a print of a painting called The Bush Opera House. About 50 kilometres later we were at the border of NSW and South Australia. Today we stay at a place called Orroroo in SA. Tomorrow we have no idea where we are going. Bye.

Dubbo and Cobar were Great

We had a great time at Dubbo. But the caravan park...I wasn't so keen on it. We had a stew for dinner. In the morning Jared and I jumped on the "Jumping Pillow". At about 10:00 we set off for Cobar. We stopped at Trangie for morning tea. We kept going and went up with two of our grandparents for lunch in Nyngan. Then, on the way to Cobar, we saw about 10 kangaroos cross the road! Then we saw some emus on the side of the road! We saw the Australian coat of arms!
Ha Ha Ha! When we arrived at Cobar, I recognised that our caravan park was at the other side of Cobar. When we got there we saw our Nan waving at us. We checked in and got our caravan set up. We made a friend named James. He was 3-4 years old. We had Chilli Con Carne and Rice for dinner. Jared and I then went to the showers and had a shower. When we got back we watched Spongebob. When it was over I read Deltora Quest and went to sleep.
