Gold Mine

Earlier in November we went to Bendigo. There was a gold mine called Deborah gold mine and we went on a tour. We went underground and had to put on a hard hat and special light. After the tour we went gold panning. I found a little piece of gold and it was fun.

We went to a chinese museum and saw a really long dragon. The longest dragon in the world. There was a night dragon too that they put out at night.

Then we went to the Grampions and did lots of bush walking. We climbed up the Pinnacle and mum got us a certificate. It said there might be an ice cream shop at the top but when we got down the bottom we got an icecream. I was designing my room on the way down.

Then we went to Naracoorte and saw some fossils in some caves. There was a skeleton of a giant kangaroo, biggest leaf eating kangaroo and its name was Stanley. It lived a long long time ago. We even got to go in the cave where it used to stay. There was another big elephant type of thing with no trunk and it was very big. When we got to another room, there was a little tunnel you could crawl through to get to the other side. I bumped my head, there were some little mice that were toys and they scuttered around in the cave that I crawled through. It was fun.

Kangaroo Island

On the 28th of November at noon we went on a ferry to Kangaroo Island. I have been having a lot of fun, we have also only been here for 2 days , yesterday we went to a koala sanctuary and today we went to a wildlife park and we saw lots of seals at seal bay!! at the wildlife park we saw these animals, a small fresh water croc, a buffalo, echidna, emus, Stanley the biting and talking cockatoo, and lots of eagles, and I especially loved touching the koalas and feeding the kangaroos by hand. Mainly all of the eagles were brought in injured.

The Murry River Echuca

On the 11th of November we arrived at a campsite right beside the Murry River. over the past couple of days we have been swimming in the Murray river. it has been soooooooooooooo Funnnnnnnnnn swimming in the
Murray river. it has also been very cold but out side of the river it has been stinking hot ! We have seen paddlers, skiers and paddle steamers going up and down the river. We went on a paddle steamer but it did not come as far as some of the others so we didn't get to see our campsite.
