Fraser Range Station Again

We woke up early today and had a delicious breakfast of baked beans and eggs. After that we did a speedy pack up of the caravan and were on the road again.

I listened to my iPod and did my brothers crossword he had. Then I just sat and played with my two car games. After around two and a half hours we arrived at Fraser Range Station.

We came to Fraser Range on the way up to Broome, and enjoyed it. We got a site and did all our jobs. My brother and I went straight to the playground after that. We put the seesaw there was last time back together.

We rolled the log in position and put the plank of wood over it. We stood up and rocked, and sat down and rocked. We soon went back to the caravan for some lunch. Then we went back to the playground.

Soon dad came and got my brother to come and have a shower. When they came back mum and I went. We had to pay one dollar for five minutes. We only had a five minute one anyway. The shower was nice and warm, and we were soon back in the caravan freshly washed.

We had some fruit and my brother and I wrote our journals. After a while we had potatoes for dinner. After that we were soon in bed. I had a great day at that playground! Even though it only has a swing, a sand pit and a seesaw!

Kalgoorlie

Today we woke up and had some breakfast in the freezing cold morning. After that we packed up the caravan and were up for a one and a half hours drive to Kalgoorlie. On the way I mostly listened to my iPod. After 130 kilometres we arrived at the Boulder caravan park and set up. We went for a shopping trip and were soon back having lunch.

It was a delicious lunch too. After that it got quite cold and we only went outside to go to the toilet. I stayed inside and drew a really good black and white picture of an Aboriginal girl and boy sitting in front of a gum tree at the setting sun. I took me all afternoon and then I wrote my journal and we had some dinner. We had chicken and noodles for dinner and were soon in bed sleeping for another new day! I had a great day!!!!

Oggi siamo andati a Kalgoorlie.

Abbiamo percorso 130 km.

Ho ascoltato il mio iPod in via di Kalgoorlie.

Mio molto bene oggi.

Menzies

Today we left the campsite Granite in the morning. When I went outside I also found five bones that weren't there yesterday and think a dingo killed something. We were soon on the foggy road heading south. I mostly listened to my iPod and read a bit of my book; Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. After a while we stopped at a few roadhouses and were soon at Leinster.

The dad also filled up the tank and we bought lunch. Between the four of us we had one cheeseburger and two other ones. They were really good!! Around one thirty we had some fruit: one orange for my brother and three mandarins for us. The mandarins were delicious!! Around two in the afternoon we arrived at Menzies and set up for the night. After some time mum and dad went to see what the town looked like. My brother and I stayed in the caravan.

Mum and dad were soon back and dad and my brother went for a shower. When they'd finished mum and I went. My shower turned cold after about five minutes so I stopped. When we came back we did some journal writing and had nachos for dinner. We were then soon in bed sleeping. I had a pretty good day!!

How Many Oversized Loads?!

Today we woke up in the morning to a nice hot chocolate and a bit of toast. We packed up the caravan and we went up to the lookout. Then drove off to the visitors centre to start our mine tour. At the centre we got our orange vests, hard hats and safety glasses. Soon the bus came and picked us and the other people up to go to the mine.

We drove a bit and the lady in the bus told us a bit of information. We soon reached the lookout over the largest open cut mine in the world. I think the lady said it was five kilometres long and two kilometres wide. We took photos of ourselves in the enormous spades of trucks and had a look through binoculars. We spent at least an hour there.

We also got plastic bags to get some rocks. Mum took some of the yellow dusty rock, my brother took some small rocks and dad took one big one that was really heavy for its size. The lady to;d us lots of information about the mine too. And that some of the truck drivers are females and keep their cabs cleaner and tidier.

When we arrived back at the visitors centre we got off the bus and drove straight to the caravan park. We hooked on the caravan and drove off. I mostly listened to my iPod in the car and played my two car games. After a while mum cut up some oranges and gave us some mandarin. After that we had some grain wave chips to get some saltiness in our mouthes after all the sweetness.

Around one in the afternoon we stopped and had a quick lunch. I had two wraps filled with avocado, cheese and tomato. We were soon on the road again. After at least four hours we stopped and filled up the diesel in the car. This was in Cue at around four in the afternoon.

After that we had oversized load after oversized load passing us as we had to slow down. There were two that we had to overtake and it was a near miss! Around six we decided we'd stop at a camp called Granite. We pulled up and mum started cooking beef stroganoff for dinner. It was DELICIOUS!!!! We were soon in bed getting rest for another long day. I did have a good day today too!!!!!!

Newman

I woke up in the morning around five thirty. My brother soon woke up and we had a play around with our iron ore rocks. Then we had some breakfast. hopped in the car and were on our way. In the car all I really did was play my car games and listen to my brothers iPod because mine was running low on battery and was in the caravan.

After about two ours we reached Newman. The first thing we did when we arrived was go to the Visitors Centre. There we got a place in the caravan park and cleaned the awning first thing. My brother and I sat inside and wrote our journals. After a while we had some lunch. After that we had a little bit of yogurt and strawberries. Then we were on our way to o some shopping.

We arrived and did a quick shop of all the things we had to get. After that we drove to a lookout over the town and dad had a little chat with some other people. We then came home and played around a bit until dinner time. But we did have a shower in-between. We had nachos for dinner and then were soon in bed for the night. I had an OK day!

Eight Hundred and Seventy Kilometres

We woke up early in the morning today and had a bit of tablet and our first breakfast in Broome without our tablets. After that we all packed up the caravan were ready to leave. Alan and Judy were leaving after us because they weren't travelling as far. For it was our first travelling day without Alan and Judy.

We said our goodbyes and drove off for a full days travelling. I listened to my iPod until it was only down to twenty percent and I didn't want to waste the batteries. Then I just sat or played my car games. After at least two roadhouses we stopped and had some lunch. Then we kept driving. In the end it was a whole days travelling and we made around eight hundred and seventy kilometres. Our best is eight hundred and eleven, so we were pretty happy.

We decided to stay the night near Karajini National Park. We set up but didn't unhook the caravan because we would be leaving again tomorrow. We wrote our journals and had some Chicken Alfredo for dinner. I had a very hot day but it was still good!!!

L'inverno la domenica.

Tomorrow We Leave

Today we woke up in the morning and had some breakfast. After a while we drove off to the market. There I got a head band and this butterfly magnet. Mum and I had a pancake each too. Mum had one with mango and I had one banana and nutella. They were really good!

After a while dad and my brother came and we all had a Fruit Thing. Mum had mango and strawberry; my brother had mango and pineapple; and dad and I each had a mango and coconut. Then mum and I went to the wildlife stand. They had a Black-Headed Python, a Pygmy Python, a Water Python, a Stimson's Python and some other pythons.

After that we took a Fruit Thing home to Alan and had some lunch. After that my brother and I went for a three hour swim. When we came back my brother and I went for a shower. Then I relaxed, listening to my iPod and playing a game. After a while we had some nachos for dinner. I had a great day!!
