We saw the largest croc ever killed in Normanton on the Gulf it was huge, 28 ft long. We found zircons and garnets when we went fossiking near Gemtree on the Plenty Highway in the Northern Territory.
We stayed in Alice Springs and made some friends at the caravan park. Then we went to Uluru. It was a very big red rock!
On the Tanami Track we met up with another family and travelled with them to the Bungles. We all got flat tyres. We saw Wolfe creek crater, the second biggest in the world. It was Myles birthday and we camped at a place called Palm Springs and went for a swim in a hot spring, had a chocolate cake with strawberries on top, it was the best! Then we watched Hotel for dogs which he got for his birthday, its so funny.
At the Bungle Bungles we did heaps of walking, one of them was 5km. We had so much fun rock climbing. They were pretty amazing. Now we are in Wyndham, dad is going paraglyding here. Soon we will be going to Elquestro station.
