Horn Island

On Friday the boys went fishing at Jacky Jacky Creek. When they had left we went down to the wharf to watch the big ship being loaded. We saw them put on 3 cars and 2 caravans. One of the cars that was being put on was a car that we saw being towed to the wharf when we were putting the boat in.
On Saturday we went on a tour of the Torres Strait Islands. We went to Thursday, Friday and Horn island.
On Friday Is they have a big pearl farm which was interesting to learn about.
Then we went to Thursday Is. On Thursday Is we had to be at Uncle Frankie's Cafe by 11:00 to take a tour and coincidentally our leader was called Frank except he wasn't the owner of the cafe.
First we went to Green Hill Fort which was really cool then we went to the cemetery. As we were driving there Frank told us about the Japanese pearl divers and how they were shot by one of the canons of the fort and over 160 of them were killed. We went and had a look at some of their graves. Then we drove to the most northern pub in Australia for lunch and then we went back to the main land.
On Sunday we set off for Bramwell Cattle Station which there was a buffet there so we thought straight to the buffet tonight. The manager had three rules 1. Children have to do the washing up 2. No children closer than 4 metres away from the bar after 4:00 PM 3. Well three isn't really a rule but it's children day today which means children set up camp while the adults relax.
At the buffet everyone voted for a table captain (which was me) and then the singer started to play a song and the table captain had to get everyone to sing the song that he was playing. If they didn't they had to go up and sing a song in front of everyone. I couldn't get Henk or Erin to sing except I nearly convinced Henk by saying that if he didn't sing he would have to play a board game with me. He still didn't sing so I ended up having to go up and sing I Went Down in a Burning Ring of Fire and I was rewarded with a Bramwell Station magnet. When we were trying to get get to sleep 500 head of cattle were mooing but not even that kept me awake I was so tired. We drove for the rest of the week.Read more
