NT Wildlife Park

-
Yesterday we didn't have to pack up the caravan because we stayed in the caravan park for two nights. We started off the day by going to Berry Springs. The crocodile warning sign was yellow so there was a small possibility that there could be a crocodile! There was a nice waterfall so my dad and I went behind it.

Then we swam to the bigger part of Berry Springs. I saw lots of fish so I took some photos of them on our GoPro.

Next, we went to NT Wildlife Park. There was a open air bus so we went in that to get to different parts of the park. 
First, we went to the nocturnal house. There were mice, quolls, bats, echidnas, quolls, rats, sugar gliders and a whole lot more! 
After the nocturnal house, we looked at the dingos. Their names were Delta and River. The bus driver fed them some treats, and then we got back into the bus. 
Next, we drove to the Bird Show. It was really cool. There was an Emu, a Wedge Tailed Eagle, a Stork and a few others. My favourite was a bird that was trying to crack open a fake emu egg with a rock!
After the bird show, we had lunch at the main part of the NT Wildlife Park. 
Next, we went to watch a man feed stingrays and Barramundi. The Barramundi slurped the food out of the man's hand! While the barramundi were  being fed, the stingrays were trying to slide up the man's legs.
Then we went to the aquarium. There were lots of really cool animals. There were fish, turtles, stingrays, jellyfish and even crocodiles!

Next, we left the NT Wildlife Park and came back to the caravan park. I think the NT Wildlife Park was awesome and I would definitely recommend it. We would have stayed there all day if we could!
We arrived at the caravan park and went swimming in the pool for a while. 
Then, we went to a pub to have dinner and watch the AFL Grand Final.
After dinner, we went to bed.

 We’ve been so busy, I haven’t posted for a while! On Friday, we went on a tour of three islands; Horn Island, Thursday Island, and Roko Island. This is the boat we went on. The water was very choppy! On Horn Island, we went to a heritage museum, where we learnt about Torres Strait Islander’s culture, pearl diving, and more. On Thursday Island, we went on a tour, where we learnt all about the locals and the history of the island. This is the Green Hill Fort. Next, we went Roko Island, which had a very sketchy jeti! We found a coconut and cracked the husk off by throwing it on the ground. Then, the locals showed us how to use tools to open coconuts. We stayed in Weipa for two days, because we decided to drive a bit further than planned again. There were a few shops, and also lots of fruit stands. This is some candy melon and passion fruit that we picked up. They were really good! For dinner, we went to the Weipa pub, where Mum bought a Keno ticket so I watched it on my iPad. It was ...

Today was Dad's birthday, so we gave him his present in the morning, and went to lots of breweries. Once we had all woken up, we walked down to the town to get breakfast from the bakery. Then, we had a look around the town and went to the market. Then, we drove around and stopped to look at some things.We stopped at Sunny Hill Distilery to have a drink. Cejae and I played with the games while we were there.  Next, we went to the beach to look in the rock pools and walk across the jetty. Dad wanted to go to the Pikes Brewery, so we went there.  Then we drive to Morgan and had got pizzas to take back to the shack. Once we got to the shack, we had our pizzas and went for a swim.

Coober Pedy

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, Cejae and I were very busy. We drove all day yesterday, and ended with a feed at the Big Winch. Then, Dad asked us to make a video about the dugout we are staying in. We made some of it that night, and the rest today. You can check that out on Dad's Facebook. This morning, we had breakfast at the Big Winch. Then, we drove to an opal shop. This was demonstrating how to cut and polish opals. Now, there's a bit of a story behind this one, so listen in.  Last year, when we came to Coober Pedy, we did a tour at Tom's Opal Mine. He taught us some of the basics, then all the kids went to go look for potch, and two polished, coloured opals that he had hidden all over the mine. Cejae found both of the coloured opals, and together, we found quite a bit of potch. At the end, we had the opportunity to trade it back for money, so that they could use it again. Once she had a look, she offered us two dollars each, and a lollipop each. The other kids doin...
