Rapid Bay and Lachie’s birthday
17. mars 2023, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
We stayed at Rapid Bay for a week and had Lachie‘s birthday while we were there, we had lots of fun stuff planned for the week.

When we arrived, first thing we did was set up, and then we rode off and made some friends. The best thing was dad moved our caravan, so we were next to our friends.

While we were at Rapid Bay, we went diving for scallops, it was our first time so we didn’t really know what we’re doing, but we ended up finding about 10. We cooked them up, but I didn’t like them so I just ate the steak.

On Lachie’s birthday, he woke me up so we could go and jump on mum and dad, to wake them up. Then it was present time. Lachie got an RC helicopter, Slime, a finger scooter and a rainbow monkey. Before breakfast, Lachie flew his RC helicopter perfectly. We had two massive waffles for breakfast, but while I was eating my waffle, I accidentally swallowed my wobbly tooth. After breakfast, we did the pinata with our friend. There was lots of lollies in there and we all ate our lollies that day. After eating all our lollies, we went and jumped off the jetty we did lots of cool moves like 360s, dance moves, and our friend’s dad even did a backflip. In the afternoon, we swam at the beach and went skurfing. After we went skurfing we had cake, for dinner Lachie chose garlic prawns, but they were really spicy, but I still liked them.

We had lots of fun playing with Isaac and we miss him already.Les mer

Smoky Quartz
23. mars 2023, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
My favourite gem is smoky quartz, so when we heard of a place where you can find some real beauties we had to go. It was called Beear Fossicking Grounds.

Some lovely old people called Lou and Wendy let us go down their hole and find some smoky quartz. Their hole was massive! Their hole was about 6m deep, you had to climb down a ladder and then down some stairs. There was heaps of smoky quartz. We found more smoky quartz in one day then we would’ve by ourselves in one week. We also found some geodes that had smoky quartz crystals inside. All smoky quartz crystals grow inside a geod, then when a smoky quartz crystal gets too big it breaks free and that’s when we find it in the wall of the hole.

It was a lot of hard work and it was very special digging out my favourite crystals, and knowing that we were the first people to ever see that crystal.Les mer

Southern 80
25. mars 2023, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Over the weekend, we watched uncle Dan race in the Southern 80 on the Murray River.

The Southern 80 is a 80 km long ski race. Uncle Dan towed two 10-year-old girls in the Southern 80, it took them about an hour and a half to finish the race.

Some of the other boats were averaging 160 km/h, and they finish the race in around 30 to 35 minutes. Some of the boats even had twin turbo V8 Motors on them. The record for the southern 80 is 29 minutes.

My favourite part of the Southern 80 was watching uncle Dan and having campfires on the Murray River.Les mer

Sovereign Hill
28. mars 2023, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Sovereign Hill is a replica of Ballarat in the gold rush days. We went to Ballarat to experience the goldrush and learn about the old days.

When we arrived I noticed that the houses were very small, dirty and unpleasant. The river that they got the water from was also used for bathing and emptying their toilets. Lots of kids got sick and died because they didn’t have the right medicine.

In the goldrush the police offices were armed with musket rifles, the only downside was that it took 40 seconds to reload it, and they didn’t have very good aim. We even watched a demonstration. The musket rifle was a very loud and I think it’s scared some people.

We found a blacksmith making a tripod that goes over the fire and you can hang your billy pot off it. It was very hot, because the blacksmith had a fire going, so he could soften the steel and bend it.

At sovereign Hill, they had a Gold mine, so we got to try and pan for some gold. We only found a couple of tiny flakes, but we put them in a bottle and kept them anyway.

We watch some people make hard-boiled lollies, they used water, sugar and glucose. Back in the 1850s sugar was very expensive so that made lollies very expensive. I was shocked because in the 1850s kids only got one lolly every one to two weeks if they were good and had done all their chores. The hard boiled lollies were so good that we had to buy some from the lolly store.

I would never want to live in the gold rush days, because it seemed very unpleasant and not much fun.Les mer

ReisendeThat's some very interesting facts. I wouldn't have wanted to live in those times either. One lolly every one or two weeks, that outrageous 😉😉

ReisendeThat's interesting Brax . I don't like the idea of drinking that river water 🤢, or only getting a lolly every 1 to 2 weeks , no , no ,no !

F1’S
31. mars 2023, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
What an early start, we caught a 6:30am train from Little River and a tram from the train station to Melbourne, on Friday and Sunday to watch the F1’s. We were there all day and watched the practice on Friday and the race on Sunday.

On Friday we did a lot of walking around the F1 track, watching the F1s. While we watching the F1s we had to wear earplugs because they were so loud. While we were at the F1s we even saw F2s, F3s and V8s, the F2 and F3 were a lot louder than the F1s.

Sunday was race day, we got there as the gates opened so we could get front row seats, the only time we left our seat was when Lachie and I went to get a ginormous ice cream. Where we were sitting we even saw some cars crash, but luckily no-one got hurt. After we watched the race I went to my first concert we saw Sneaky Sound System and Birds of Tokyo, I knew some of the songs because dad has played them all the before.

After a couple of big days we slept like babies and had a heap of fun.Les mer

Cactus 🏄‍♂️ 🌵🤙
17. april 2023, Australia
It was our third time staying at Cactus and we were there for three weeks. We are staying at Cactus again because it is our favourite place, and we met up with Willow and Matilda from last year, we also made lots of new friends and played lots of games.

This year was my favourite year at Cactus because we made so many friends, our friends names were Matilda, Willow, Lilly, Grace, Imogeon, Albie, Lenny, Seb and Meki. Each morning, we would wake up do our schoolwork and then go down and play with our friends all day and only come back up to eat. We would hang out at the A-frame all day and play lots of games like truth or dare, capture the flag and cops and robbers. When the surf was good we would organise our parents to drive us to Shelleys because we love surfing together and catching party waves. When the surf was smaller we would go out to Cactus and one time it was a bit too big and we all got wiped out. When it was dark we would play different games like storm Lantern, camouflage and among us. One day, all of the kids made a heap of jewellery and we sold it at the sunset bar. We made five dollars each, all up we made $50, I spent my money on lollies. But then all of our friends left and now we have to hang out with mum and dad 🙄.Les mer
