We had pancakes for breakfast today. Mum, Dad, Toby and I went for a walk on the riverbed. There were lots of different coloured rocks. Toby and I collected some rocks to take home.

Today when I went to ride my bike I found that the back tyre was flat. Toby’s back tyre was also flat. Luckily we had a puncture repair kit, so we could fix the bikes. It took most of the morning. There were two punctures in my tyre, but only one in Toby’s.

We went for a little drive in the afternoon to have a look around.

I built a stone tower with Dad

A ruin

I had porridge for breakfast, it was yummy. We packed up the camper and went and had a shower. We had to put money in to get hot water. The shower was in an old tin shed, but it was a really nice shower.

We drove a lot but not as much as the first day. We finally got to the Flinders Ranges National Park. We had to cross lots of rivers to get to our campsite. Some of the river beds were very rocky and we had to drive very slowly. On the way we saw a yellow-footed rock wallaby.

I think it is very nice up here. I can write on the stones and I have made lots of new friends.

Writing my blog

We cooked bacon and eggs for breakfast on the fire. I helped mama get the fire going. I blew on the coals to make the fire bigger.

After we had lunch we went to Steamtown where we saw lots of train engines and carriages. There was one carriage with a zigzag hallway. We went back after dinner for the light show.

After we packed up the camper trailer we went over the Murray River on the ferry.

We saw an old copper mine from a lookout in Burra.

We saw an old steam train in Peterborough. It was fun to climb on.

We are camped in the bush on a sheep farm near Peterborough. There are lots and lots of flies here.

We cooked our dinner on our camp fire and had toasted marshmellows.

We drove a lot but it was not as much as yesterday. We had a sausage at the market.

We crossed the border into South Australia.

We went down to the river near our camping spot and Dad went for a swim in the freezing cold water.

This is my first blog entry I’ve ever written!!

Today we drove and drove. We saw a steam train that we could climb on.

We are camped next to a lake near Mildura.

I hope camping is fun and i hope I will really enjoy it.

I am most looking forward to visiting my family in Adelaide on the way home.
