Life In A Camper Trailer

On Saturday we went on a tour to the Torres Strait Islands. We went to Friday, Thursday and Horn Island. On Friday Is we visited a Pearl shop. Friday Is is only small. Next we went to Thursday Is (more commonly know as TI to the locals.) On TI we had some time to look around. We went to a gallery type shop, a souvenir shop and we also went and listened to someone speak about the referrendom. A about 11:00 o'clock we went to a cafe called Uncle Frankie's to go on a taxi tour of TI. On the tour we went to a fort called Greenhill Fort that was built because they predicted an attack from the Russian, the attack never came. There is three cannons and only one of them ever fired, the only reason it fired was because a pearl diving ship didn't identify itself until it had been fired at. It was identified as friendly afterwards. Next we went and had a look at some of the Japanese pearl divers graves. After that Frank the taxi driver drove us to the most northern hotel in Australia. There we had lunch with the rest of the group from the tour. Everybody had fish and chips. After TI we went to Horn Is. On Horn Is we went to the museum. There was lots of interesting information about World War II and pearl divers. On the way back to the mainland we saw 2 crocodiles a small one and a big one. On Sunday we drove to Bramwell Station. On the way there we stopped at Fruit Bat again. We arrived at Bramwell at abut 4:00 o'clock. When we arrived we set up camp and went exploring. We found a little creek at the bottom of the campsite. Zara and Lincoln were there as well. It was Zara's birthday the night we stayed at Bramwell. At Bramwell there was 500 head of cattle they were noisey all night. At Bramwell we went to a buffet, the man there told us that we won't be able to have dessert if we don't eat some salad. There was sausages, steak, rissoles, shepherds pie, potato bake, pumpkin, cauliflower and broccoli bake, steamed veggies and salads. For dessert there was sticky date pudding and custard. After that there was some live music. After Bramwell we went to Laura again and stayed the same camp site. The next day we drove to Mareeba. At Mareeba went stocked up on supplies. After stocking up we went to Emerald Creek Falls for a look, you can't stay there over night. We stayed at Davey Creek Falls for the night. In the morning we got up and packed up so we could go down to the waterfall for a little bit. After looking at the water fall we went too the swimming holes. That night we stayed at Lake Eachem. In the afternoon we went for a walk round the lake we had tea there. After tea we went on a "spotlighting walk", we didn't see much only a long nose bandicoot. We also heard what we think was a tree falling down. The next day we went to a big crater. We also went to some hot springs. It was a "cold" day so they were very enjoyable. That night was our last night with Henk and Mary. We stayed in a gravel pit.Leia mais
