the kimberly ranges

dear grade 4 and every one else who is reading.
i'm sorry i haven't written for a while but I've been having so much fun that i haven't had time. any way once we left timber creek we drove to lake argyle it is the biggest lake in Australia. I think a place with that many cane toads deserves an olympian gold medal and should break the Guinness world record, they were everywhere. we swam in the lake which was very warm, much warmer than the pool. Now any of you who thinks that there are crocodiles in the lake then you are right but they are far away and they are freshwater and they are more scared of us than we are of them. (we are still terrified of salt waters!!) The difference between a fresh water and salt water crocodile is freshies are smaller and only eat fish, salt waters you get the picture. Lake Argyle had an infinity pool it was awesome. We also found a few bower bird nests. The boy bower bird collects colourful things to try to impress the other birds.

We then went to Purnulu National Park also known as Bungle Bungles, we left the van behind and took tents to sleep in as the road in was too rough. it was hot, we went on a walk to echidna chasim and cathedral gorge. At Cathedral gorge we tried to hit toads with rocks.

after the bungle bungles we were just driving along and the tire of our van had a blow out. Then we replaced the tyre and got on our way. That night we stayed at a wayside stop. It was the best wayside stop I've ever seen.

The next day we kept driving and we found a problem with the tyre again. The bolts had come off where they are supposed to keep the wheel attached to the van. Then we called the tow truck and then we had ANOTHER problem. We were driving in the same place near the caravan to wait for the towtruck but the car had gone off an edge and was resting no longer on it's wheels, but on the pipes and joints underneath the car. A guy helped us who towed the car out of the ditch.

Then, we arrived at Broome. We stayed in a cabin because we had no van. The cabin was a lot like the ones we slept in at camp.When we tried to drive off, ANOTHER problem struck. THE CAR WAS OUT OF BATTERIES!!!! But we got it running. (and got a new battery). The pool at the campground was the best pool ever. It was 2.3 metres deep at the deep end.

We saw dinosaur footprints then we left that campsite and went to another campsite. It has a nice pool too. It has a small waterfall that you can duck under the waterfall and be in a little toddler style pool and it is fun to play in. Then I sat down and started writing a blog. The first 3 words were "Dear Grade 4", as you already know, because you just read it. Then we had a very nice dinner and ended with another two words-The End.
