Star Rating:★★★★

★=Full Star☆=Half a star

🚨DAY TRIP ALERT🚨, 🚨DAY TRIP ALERT🚨 We were camped at a beautiful place but there was not much to do around the campground so we went on a lot of day trips. 

Day Trip No.1 We went to see an open cut gold mine in Peak Hill and "The Dish". The Dish is used for radio astronomy, it  is 64 m in diameter and weighs 300 tonnes (300,000 kg). Its used by about 300 people each year and it receives radio signals from space.

Day Trip No.2 We went to a roadside creek to have a swim (a bush wash.) Jackson and I spent most of our time catching little fish and yabbies until Mum and Dad  told us to have a swim (it was cold.).

Day Trip No.3 We went to Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo and to the swimming pool in Dubbo. We had lots of fun at the pool which had three slides! (If you want to hear about the zoo check out my zoo post).

Day Trip No.4 We went to the annual Parkes Elvis Festival and it was AMAZING!! There was buskers in the street and a big stage in the park where singers could perform. There was also heaps of crazy souvenirs, including an Elvis camp chair!
In the time we were at camp we rode around and did some walks.

There was a huge open cut mine in a town called Peak Hill.

👇There was heaps of of old machinery lying around.👇

Roar, Squeak....Beatbox??????

The Animals at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo were amazing, especially the beatboxing apes! The cheeky Siamang Apes puffed out their throat and when they let the air out it sounded like they were beatboxing!! There was heaps of other weird and wonderful animals too, including the white handed gibbons who loved to show off....

Week 4 Friday 8th - Thursday 14th April

Narooma, NSW

Star Rating:★★★★

★=Full Star☆=Half a Star

As soon as we rolled into the Narooma caravan park, we saw an indoor splash park (with a huge water slide). You could see it was warm inside (it was rainy, freezing and windy outside) because there was fog on the windows and there were heaps of people inside, as we later found out there was also a spa. As soon as we pulled up at our campsite Jackson and I jumped into the caravan to get changed into our bathers, and, as fast as the parents could say “Help us unpack”, we were at the water park! (We probably spent at least 10 hours in the water park over the time we stayed there.)

Whilst at Narooma we got to see our cousins, eat lots of sugary treats and see heaps of majestic seals (they were super cool, but they were stinky when you got up close).

Once our cousins arrived, we spent a lot of our time bike riding (everyone) and roller skating (me and my cousin Ruby). We enjoyed seeing who could jump the highest over all the speed bumps (the caravan park had lots). We started whizzing around the caravan park at the first crack of dawn and did not stop until we were told to go to bed! On our last day we even got to hire the go karts, it was so much fun racing everyone around.

On our second last day we went to the beach but sadly we could not boogie board because there was a huge rip!! We went exploring down the inlet and found an island that was full of solider crabs. We tried to catch them, but we only got a few because they kept disappearing under the sand!

We all loved our time in Narooma!

It was super fun going down the big slide!

We tried to catch crabs and small fish.

There was a big rock called Australia Rock.
