On the way to Port Augusta we stopped for lunch at Woomera. It is where rockets and missiles were tested during and after World War 2. I learnt that Hitler tried to kill lots of people with missiles filled with explosives. Then Britain used Woomera to try to make their own missiles.
In the Museum there were models of missiles and satellites and outside there were the actual missiles, rockets and test planed in a park.
The rest the day we drove and drove and drove until we reached Port Augusta. I helped Dad cook the BBQ (chicken kebabs).
The next day (today) we went to the movies and watched Ice Age 3. The best part was when the mammoth and all his friends when into the dinosaur world and tried to rescue their friend- cool movie.
We went to the information centre and I bought a boomerang and an iced chocolate – Yum.
Hi James, Have you practised your boomerang throwing - did it hit the wheel of the car and is that the reason Dad needed a wheel-alignment. Looking forward to hearing more stories about your trip. Love Grandma & Pop
