Today we travelled to a great caravan park- it had a huge jumping pillow and a small one next to it. You can hire bikes and buggies to move around the park and each night they have some entertainment. (Star gazing through telescopes, didgeridoo playing, 4wd information talks etc)
While Mum did washing and Dad fixed the van and car ready for the next few days, we spent our time jumping on the pillows and playing on the equipment.
At night we went to Desert Park on a Nocturnal visit. We got there at 7 p.m. and were given head lamps to wear. The light was red so that it doesn’t scare the animals. I liked seeing the Bilbies, Echidnas, Mala and other animals. To enter the area we had to carefully walk though an electric fence. Our Guide, Pamela, was very interesting and knew a lot of information about the animals, what they ate and how they lived. We saw lots of their burrows and nests and saw them eating plants during the tour. In the middle of the enclosure was a water hole where we found a lot of the animals as they come there to drink at night.
There was a huge full moon and was saw satellites going across the sky.
After the tour we went for a treat to McDonalds for a sundae, then back home for a sleep before we travel to Glen Helen Gorge tomorrow.
