    Uluru (Ayers Rock)

    July 9, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    Such an amazing sight to see.
    An iconic symbol of Australia.
    Seeing it in real life is mindblowing.
    We spent the afternoon riding our bikes around it (over 9km)
    And what a coincidence that at the caravan park I ran into a friend from school that's also going around Australia for 12 months.Read more

    Uluru Camel Rides

    July 10, 2017 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 15 °C

    Best experience ever, getting to ride a camel is really amazing.
    The feeling of being on their back when standing up is pretty cool, definitely different to anything else I've ever done before.
    My camel's name was "Tanamai". He doesn't bite and he's really calm.
    This was definitely one of the highlights on my trip so far.    Read more

    Kings Canyon

    July 11, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    At the start there were a few stairs but when we reached the top we saw a huge canyon.
    A 6km hike all around the rim including the Garden of Eden.
    The Garden of Eden was a really good spot to have lunch. There were lots of birds, frogs and tropical plants.
    It was an appropriate name for a tropical oasis in the middle of a desert.    Read more

    Alice Springs, The School Of Air

    July 13, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Not very big but fascinating.
    Some Kids from remote areas all around the Northern Territory use this one school by using a special website (similar to Skype or face time).
    The broadcast area covers more than 1.3 million square km.
    It is known as the worlds biggest classroom and currently has over 125 students.
    A few celebrities have visited the school, even the Queen has visited.... and now we have too!    Read more

    Alice Springs, Big 4 MacDonnell Ranges

    July 13, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    A very expensive park, however this park has been my favorite park yet.
    4 pools, one with a huge slide, (the weather wasn't quite warm enough but we still used the slide), 2 jumping pillows and a trampoline. I loved the jumping pillow best. It had 2 playgrounds, half a basketball court, a tiny mountain bike path and every night they would have different activities eg: movie night, live music, didgerido playing, and lots more.
    Very pricey but worth the money.    Read more

    Alice Springs, Desert Park

    July 13, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    This park has lots of different animals, facts, and tours.
    We saw Dingos, Emus, Kangaroos and lots and lots of different birds.
    The park also has a nocturnal house with lots of animals that you wouldn't see very often such as quolls, bilbies, snakes, rats, and lizards.
    At a certain time staff do a bird show that is absolutely AMAZING! You see owls, hawks, eagles and some different local birds the man feeds and does lots of tricks with the birds.    Read more

    Alice Springs, Camel Cup

    July 15, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Lots of camels trying to win a big shiny trophy is kind of funny to watch, especially when they have to start the race by sitting down.
    It's hilarious when one of the camels decide that they don't want to race so they start to run the wrong way.
    Apart from seeing the camels race there is also 2 big 'boats' in the desert - one of them is the "Pirates" and the other one is the "Vikings". At the end of all the races the two boats will have a huge water fight.
    There is also a parade where all the camel mascots, the 2 little ducks, the camels, and the two boats will all go around the race track.
    I love the camel races.    Read more

    Wycliffe Well

    July 16, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    This place is said to be the UFO capital of Australia. Apparently hundreds of UFOs have been spotted here. It has a little shop with alien stationary, souvenirs and food.
    I didn't see any UFOs .... but there were some weird looking aliens around!Read more

    WWII Gorrie Airstrip

    July 17, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    It's really cool to think that we were camping on an Airstrip that would have been covered in Army camps, Jeeps, and big war planes.
    We all went on a bike ride around the airstrip. I loved the bike ride, not so much my little 7 year old brother.Read more

    Kakadu

    July 20, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    We went on a few hikes to see some aboriginal paintings at Ubirr and Nourlangie.
    The Bowali Visitors centre had lots of cat fish, turtles and lots more animals.
    We learnt a lot of facts throughout the centre about the aboriginal culture.
    At the end we watched a video about a man who goes into the bush to fetch crocodile eggs and how he used a helicopter and a cage to collect the eggs.

    The Guluyambi Cultural Cruise

    July 21, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Loved this boat tour, so so many crocodiles seen in the wild.
    An aboriginal man guided our tour along the East Alligator River in Kakadu. He showed us how the aboriginal people use the plants to make their spears, shields, and medicine. He also took us up onto Arnhem land and showed us how to use a "woomera" to throw a spear.Read more

    Darwin Aviation Museum

    July 23, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    So many war planes big and small, Jeeps, and plane wrecks from WWII.
    Some planes could still fly, some can't.
    B52 bomber, and a spitfire they are my favorite.
    My little brother wishes that he could fly one, I do too.Read more

    Crocodylus Park, Darwin

    July 24, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    An awesome crocodile farm with hundreds of crocodiles - from babies to ginormous crocs.
    Apart from crocodiles this park has meerkats, turtles, lions, wolfs, ponys, monkeys, lizards, and lots more animals.
    It also has a show on crocodile feeding, I got to hold a stick with some meat on it out into the middle of a crocodile enclosure and then, all of a sudden, a huge crocodile jumped out of the pool and grabbed the meat off the stick. I can still remember the sound of the huge snap of his jaws.
    We got to hold a baby crocodile called "Stapler" and a corn snake called "Abby".
    A really interesting and fun park.    Read more

    Darwin Wave Pool

    July 25, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    The waves were so so big. It's all calm until the sirens go off - that's when the big waves come out.
    There are free boogie boards and inflatable tubes to use in the pool. You have to grab them fast though - they are popular.Read more

    Darwin, Leanyer Water Park

    July 26, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    Better than the Palmerston water park, it has longer and curlier slides, 1: red slide, you can only go on with 2 people and it's pitch black, 2: blue slide, smaller than the red slide but faster, 3: yellow slide, smallest slide but the fastest slide.
    Apart from the slides it has a fairly big pool and a little water play ground. Best water park yet.    Read more

    Darwin Show

    July 27, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Pig races, show jumping, show bags, rides, chickens and lots more.
    Show bags are kind of expensive, and rides were a rip off but there was lots of shooting gallery games that we don't see at home.
    The cats, dogs, cows and all the animals are free to look at. You can also purchase chicks, cats and puppies.
    Love this show.    Read more

    Cascades, Litchfield National Park

    July 29, 2017 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 11 °C

    To me it was a hike to get there but it was worth it.
    So many little water falls and one big one. Lots of little pools to swim in.
    The little pools are full of fish and shrimp.
    The hike makes you really sweat so that when you get into the pool it's so refreshing.Read more

    Katherine Hot Springs

    July 30, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Nice and warm, lots of fish and a really strong water fall.
    We loved the waterfall because we would sit on it and it would pull us over the side.
    Really good for snorkelling.

    Katherine Gorge

    July 31, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Bats everywhere, (flying foxes). I couldn't believe how many there were, (or how stinky!)
    We went on a big hike by the Gorge.
    Lots of birds and lots of stairs.
    Fantastic views though.

    Cloncurry Rodeo

    August 4, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Considering that Ive never being to a Rodeo before, I absolutely loved it.
    There was bucking bulls, steer wrestling, Lasooing, lots of different food stalls and show games.
    I got Nachos and hot dogs.
    I love Rodeos    Read more

    Winton, Age of Dinosaurs

    August 6, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    At the very start we paid for the three different tours.
    First off we did the tour through the laboratory, we saw lots of different bones wrapped up in some sort of plaster called a jacket we saw some workers drilling and brushing off some jackets that were already open.
    Secondly we went into the collection room and saw a short video about the findings of "Matilda" and "Banjo". Then a man showed us all the different bones and told us where they come from.
    Then we took a bus down to the Dinosaur Canyon. We did some sketches in a little booklet that we got from reception. We saw some trees from prehistoric times and we saw some dinosaur sculptures.    Read more

    Chicken Racing, Winton

    August 7, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Wow, camel racing then pig racing ... now chicken racing!
    The chicken's feathers have been dyed and they are all trained to chase after a remote control car, (which is filled with chicken feed).
    There is also an auction which raises funds for a local charity. When we were there we bet $6 on the orange chicken, "Apricot" and $12 on a multi colored chicken named "Diamantina". The prize money was $50. Sadly we didn't win but it's great fun to watch.Read more

    Musical Fence, Winton

    August 8, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Lots of different types of instruments all made out of recycled materials.
    The best 2 are the drums and the musical fence itself.
    The musical fence is a wire fence and each wire plays a different tune.
    It's a really great spot to have lunch, (but it can be noisy!)    Read more

    Australian Stockmans Hall of Fame

    August 9, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Fantastic museum, it tells you all about what a stockman is and what they use.
    It has an upper level that tells you all about the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
    There are little boards all around the building telling you all about some special stockman from around Australia.
    There is also a show that is put on by a stockman. He has 2 dogs, a Kelpie and a Border Collie. He also has a horse, a cow, and a lot of sheep.
    I volunteered to hold his horse but the horse took off on me, (it was part of the show- and very funny!)    Read more
