Hello everybody!! Today was a lovely, peaceful, calm, relaxing day. In the morning we walked down to the caravan park office, where we hoped to book in for another day. Alas there was no more room, someone had already booked the site we were on, and we had to find somewhere else to stay the day and night. Fortunately Mum had already planned for us to stay at Narawntapu National Park another evening, so we packed up the bus and headed there a day early. After finding ourselves a beautiful campsite, Gabby and I went for a walk on the beach and promptly got lost. The beach was pretty, but hard to walk on; we kept sinking to our knees in sand! After we had walked for ages, Mum and Dad called: they had also gone down to the beach and were looking for us. Reluctantly we turned back and found Mum and Dad.
Instead of walking back along the beach, we took the nearest exit out and walked around trying to find our campsite. We got lost again. After walking around in circles (literally! We walked around in a circle!!), Mum and Dad figured the way back to the bus. As we neared the bus, we stumbled upon a fire track. Mum and I followed it and Dad and Gabby followed the road. Mum and I got to the bus first (ha ha; take that Gabby and Dad). We relaxed for the next couple of hours. After lunch we walked (4km return) to Bakers Beach (they spelt our name wrong, but we forgive them). Dad and I swam out in the shallow, clear water, while Mum and Gabby laughed at us and took pictures. We returned to the bus and relaxed until tea. After tea we went on the Springlawn nature walk. The walk was fantastic! We were met with wide eyed pademelons along the track, beautiful birds at the Bird Hide pavilion and wombats, Bennett’s wallabies and Kangaroos along the grassy plains. The first part of the walk was well maintained, but the grassy plains part of the walk was signposted with yellow poles a fair distance apart. So, there we were; at almost nightfall trying to navigate our way through badly signposted plains, with wallabies and kangaroos watching our every move. Good fun!! Luckily, we finished the walk with plenty of time to spare.
Hope you’re not all melting in the hot weather, Maddy.
Fauna: Wrens, pademelons (that came up to us at mealtimes wanting food. Gabby managed to get the little cutie to sniff her finger!), Bennett’s Wallabies, Kangaroos, Wombat and loads of different birds.
