This morning we set out on a 117km drive to Wallace Rock Hole. On our arrival, Cathy, a kind aboriginal lady, took us on a tour around the Rock hole. Our first stop was a tree called Er Munga Munga, used by the aborigines for bush medicine. They collected and steamed the leaves to use the water to wash in. They also ground the leaves and made a paste with animal fat to put on sores to heal them. Next up was the grinding stone. It was a big hollowed out rock wit...

Rest Day / Reptile Park: Today we had another rest day in Alice, and dad had plans to go to the reptile park. When we arrived we found out the front of the reptile park had a ginormous statue. It was. The first reptiles we saw were the Geckos. We walked into the room and my eyes took a while to adjust to the darkness. Most of the Geckos were hiding but some of them were up on the top of their exhibit were the heat was coming from. Geckos are cold blooded reptile...

Day 16 Today Dad and I left our cabin early to go and pack up the camper. Dad was worried that when we got there it would be on fire. Luckily for us, everything was fine.

Our whole car was full. When we got back we were starving! We went looking for mum and everyone else in the Gorg...

Day 15: Today we drove from the Uluru resort to Kings Canyon. We left at 8:40 in the morning, ( which is our new pack up record ). We drove on a sealed road from Ayers Rock. Once we got to Kings Canyon we had a lunch break and had some chicken sandwiches. Dad decided to do the 6 kilometre walk. That took us about 3 and a half hours to walk through the gorge, next to cliffs and over domes. The walk started with a set of stairs. There was 500 stairs, that pooped ...

Day 14: Today we got up at 5:45 in the morning to go see the sunrise at the Olgas. The Olgas are a strange rock formation, with the highest peak reaching 500m tall. The Olgas changed colour from black in the morning to a dark red colour and then finally when the sun came up it had a mix of purple and orange. After the sunrise we went on two walks. The first walk was called the Valley of the Winds and boy was it windy! The second walk was a longer hour and a half...
