      We're just sinking in

      May 5, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

      On Friday we went for a swim in the creek a few hundred metres from the house. We also attempted to get my kite in the air but we failed to do so then we played on the trampoline for a little bit. On Saturday we went for a drive around the farm in the farm ute that evening we went out for tea. On Sunday we planted a tree then that afternoon we watched the guardians of the galaxy. Then on Monday we left7:00 A.M then we had a 9 our day to get to Cape Hillsborough National Park. The next day we went on a big up to Andrews Point we walked back along the beach. On Wednesday we had to get up at 6:00 so we didn't miss our ferry from Townsville to magnetic island. On the first day on Magnetic Island we went for a swim in the pool. Then on Thursday we went snorkelling in Florence bay when we got back from snorkelling we went back to the campsite to have a quick swim in the pool. This week we have driven 1200 km averaging 171 km a day we have done 1140 minutes averaging 165 minutes a day. My favourite part of this week was when we went snorkelling. We saw lots of fish my favourite fish was a light brown fish with dark brown circles and in the circles was an electric blue. We saw some brain coral and a lot of other cool things.

      Lots Of Stops This Week

      May 4, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      It's week two and we've driven 3424km averaging 244.6km per day. We have also, by the end of the day, spent 48 hours in the car at 3 and a half hours per day.
      This week we only spent spent two days driving, even though one of the days was 9 hours long, the other one was only 4 and a half hours.
      This week we spent three whole days at our Uncles farm and two days that weren't whole. On Thursday we had really good nachos for tea. On Friday we went swimming in our Uncles creek, well its not our Uncles creek it just runs though their property. The creek had risen a lot after Cyclone Debbie and we found another secret pool. In the secret pool there was a log sticking out of the water. We sat on the log and wrestled each other our cousin Tom was the best. That night we had pizza for tea and it was really good. To next day we played on the trampoline a lot and went out for tea. For tea I had steak and salad. The next day on Sunday we went to the dump because they don't have rubbish bins and they needed to get rid of the rubbish. Later that day we watched Guardians Of The Galaxy and taught Tom and Ava how to play charades. We didn't have tea until about 7:00 because we were having a roast and we put it on late. On Monday we left early because we had 9 hours to drive that day.
      We stayed at Cape Hillsbrough National Park for two nights. We saw lots of wallabies on the beach early in the morning.
      The next day we had a short drive up to Townsville. At Townsville we bordered a ferry to Magnetic Island. On the island we went snorkelling and fishing. We also fed some parrots. We stayed at Koala Village in Horseshoe Bay. We went snorkelling at Florence Bay. Ben caught the first fish of the trip and I caught three fish that we didn't keep. Today we are driving up to Cairns to meet some friends of ours to drive Cape York with us.
