SOUTH AUSTRALIA - BY ASH AND HOLLY

Near the border of South Australia we stopped at Eucla. While we were there we met a goat. We didn't go outside cause the goat attacked us. We also saw the old telegraph station and climbed up the big sand dunes, but we only went a little way.
The first place we visited in S.A. was Head of Bight where we saw whales. We saw them wave to us. The cliffs were amazing.
We went to Fowlers Bay. It was really windy. We slid down the big white sand dunes on cardboard boxes.
Next we went through Ceduna to Perlubie Beach. We saw two Dolphins. We also played on the swing set that was right near the beach. Mutley ate a smelly fish head and she got stinky breath.
On the way to Adelaide we stopped at Nutbush retreat. There were sheep, cow and what else.
Before Adelaide we stayed at WhiteCliffe Reserve on a little river. We cooked pancakes on the fire and collected water with a little bucket for the showers. I liked the water cause it was nice and warm. We got bitten by mozzies.
At Adelaide we stayed at Liah's and Anselm's place. Leah is our cousin and Anselm is her Husband. At Adelaide we went to the beach house. we went on the games. They were all fun. The best game was the bumper cars and boats.
Leah bought us credits to use a well as an ice cream.
We also went to the big rocking horse. We went right up the top on it's head. It was scarey when you walked up high.
The whispering wall was good. We thought Daddy was in the wall because the sound jumped around to the other side. It was freaky.
We went to the lookout. It was freezing cold. We could see Adelaide.
Yesterday we went to Wellington. We crossed the Murray river on a ferry and we got to swim in it.
Now we are at Millicent near the Victorian Border. Millicednt has the best ever playground in the whole world. It had slides, flying fox, excercise equipment, a toy train, a climbing pyramid, and lots more. We met some friends in the park. They were aged three and ten.
Tomorrow we should be in Victoria.
We should be home in 5 weeks and can't wait to see you all again.

Luke, how are the guinnea Pigs? We can't wait to see them again.

Talysa, Mikaela, Madeline and Grace, we miss you.

The South of W.A. written by ASH with no help from Daddy (except spelling).

8/10/08
PEMBERTON: We left the farm and drove off to Pemberton. I like Pemberton because it has birds that sing all the time. It also has fires and green grass. People arrive all the time. First we had to set up camp. It didn't take long. After that we went to see Big Brooke Dam. It was cold so we only played in the sand. Then we came back to camp and had a fire.

9/10/08
We left Pemberton and stayed at a free camp. I didn't like it because all it had was a fire place and a bin, but I did like it because it was close to the tree top walk. I liked the tree top walk because it was 40 feet (metres) high. We didn't see any animals but that didn't matter. After that we went on the ancient empire walk. I liked that the most. We went in the trees. Last we went to the science place. It had a picture of a car going through a tree which we sat in. It looked like we were driving.

10/10/08
We left Walpole and went into Albany. We stayed at Kings River caravan park. There was electricity and a river full of tiny black and white fish. I caught two, mummy caught lots. Mine was the big one. We tried fishing at emu point but it didn't wok. Then we went fishing again.

Holly - Perth to Margaret river.

PERTH: We saw the Swan River and it rained so we had to go to the shelter. We got some lollies at the park but we didn't go on the tram and we went to the playground and had ice-cream.
BUNBURY: At Bunbury we went up the lookout and it was very nice.
BUSSELTON: We went on the jetty and then we went back because it was very cold.
MARGARET RIVER: We met a new boy. We played with him and also played with fire sticks (NO FIRE - JUST PRACTICE ONES). His name is River. There's heaps of sheep. We played with the white dog.
