Next day...
Today we drove to Julia creek where there was a festival called Dust 'n Dirt. First we saw the horse racing, then a man came over in a helicopter and dropped sweets for us to catch! Afterwards we went to a rodeo! At one point I thought a bull was going to knock over the fence and run at me!
Next day...
Today was Mum's birthday! We drove all day before having a tyre blowout! We had to wait for a truck to change our tyre. Basically we stayed the night in a layby!
Next day...
We drove to a place called Undara where we saw ancient lava tubes! They're 190,000 years old. Nearly as old as Dad! We walked in the dark and saw micro-bats!
Next day...
Today we drove to Atherton we met my Grandads' cousin called Tom. He took us to a cheese and chocolate factory! For lunch we had cheese, scones, and milkshakes! What a great lunch!
Later, Tom cooked a BBQ for us! Tom was such a nice man!
Next day...
We drove to Port Douglas where we went on a rainforest walk. It was SO humid!
We carried on and travelled to Cairns. When we arrived there, I found out there was a bunjee jump! Mum said I couldn't do it because it was too expensive!
Next day...
We travelled to Hervey bay. We had an early night because we were going to Fraser island the next day! Fraser Island is completely made of sand.
Next day...
We woke up at 6:30AM to go to Fraser Island. We took a bus to the harbour to get on a boat which took us to Fraser Island. When we arrived at the harbour on Fraser Island we had a bus waiting for us! Our guide took us on a tour of the resort before dropping us off beside the pool.
Three quarters of an hour later, we went on a Bush tucker and medicines tour. We tried berries that gave us energy and tasted of cinnamon! We found leaves that work as mosquito repellent and smelt of lemon. It was great fun!
We then went on a canoe tour of the mangroves. Our guide told us that once he came out on a tour with some girls, and two were kayaking under an arch when the guide realised there was a carpet python hanging down from the tree! A girl turned around and it was an inch away from her face! When we got off the beach, we saw a funnel-web spider!
We left Fraser Island feeling very happy.
Next day...
We woke up early to drive to Brisbane. I was excited to leave Australia but I will miss it too. We arrived in Brisbane in a campsite to start packing our bags.
After cleaning up, we had spaghetti bolignaise. It was wonderful!
Next day...
We woke up at 6:00AM to start getting ready to leave. You could guess the excitement when we were driving to the motorhome hire office! The man at the office drove us to the airport. It was time to say goodbye to our motorhome!
We realised our plane had been delayed by an hour! We met a guy who stayed in Cornwall! We finally departed Australia for Fiji.
