A quick trip of about 1 ½ hours saw us get to Glen Helen Gorge – we were the first of the Pradopoint group to arrive, so we set up our caravan and worked out which gorges we were going to visit.
First, we went to Big Ellery Creek Hole where we found a water hole. We wanted to go in for a swim, but it was a bit cold and a bit dirty.
We met some of the other Prado people there and they told us to go and look at a place called ‘Standley Chasm’. We climbed over big boulders and under trees. It was hard work and very steep. Coming down was much harder than going up! I really liked walking through the Chasm because there were rocks around me on each side.
We then went to the Ochre pits – Lauren was asleep, so Dad and I ran down to the pit and took a photo. They use Ochre to make face paint. The rocks were very colourful and interesting.
Lauren woke up and we travelled to Ormiston Gorge. It had a water hole, but we didn’t see any animals around. We climbed up a few rocks (James is a mountain goat!) and then got in the car to go back home.
We had dinner at the lodge – they couldn’t find our booking at first, so we had to watch everyone else eat until they could see that there was still enough food for the four of us.
Joke of the Day: Why does a skeleton play a piano at church?
Hi James, We really don't know the answer to your joke...it guarantee it's a good answer??
