Dear grade 3,
i haven't talked to you for a long time so i have a lot to talk about
i have finished the gibb river road and i'm back in the nothern teritory i have three more weeks till i am coming home. yay! 100 years ago this boab tree was a prison. this tree is at derby the start of The Gibb River Road. The Gibb River Road is about 700 km long through the Kimberley Range.
We went to Windjana Gorge and saw lots of freshwater crocs. These crocs don't harm humans. Saltwater crocodiles do eat you.
We stayed at Imintji campground and found a dog to pat at the shop. I call it Buster
We went to Galvans Gorge and it had a swing with a stick handle and I swang off it.

LOTS of times.
At Mount Barnet Roadhouse we stayed and went out to Manning Gorge. We did all sorts of jumps into the rockpool. It was great, we went behind the waterfall and it was a hard swim to get behind.

| g'day mate! |
We went to a station the next morning called Ellenbrae and had yummy toasted sandwiches and there was a dog there called Evie and a sign saying please don't feed me I'm on a diet.
We then went and camped on the Gibb River and we got bogged by a person called Brendan Cusack also known as my dad. Another man came along and helped us out.
Next day we drove to El Questro which had 2 donkeys Harry and Larry.
There were 26 horses, we went on a walk and it was called El Questro gorge. When we drove there our car flooded (bad music dandandan). Mum said you are crazy to my father. We did the walk to half pool which was good then on the drive back Tom, mum and I went in a truck back with a lovely man called Owen and dad drove back on his own with the suzuki.
there was a tiny bit of water but not as much as before.

We left El Questro and popped into Emma gorge and went on a walk that was 2km☺ Here's a photo of the waterfall at the end of the walk.
After 8 days and 700km we made it to the end of the Gibb River Road.
At the end of the Gibb River Road is a town called Wyndham. It's one of the hottest towns in Australia. It has a good view of the sunset.
Great talking to you.
From Grace.
Hi Gracie, what a lovely lot of news you have written on the blog. Loved the bit about you , Tom & Mum came back with a man called Owen, Dads car would have sailed across the water on the way back! 3 wks to go now on your adventure, lots more excitement ahead. All those dogs you have met along the way. Beaut photos as well. Can't wait to see you. Love Carm & Ray.😁
ReplyDeleteHi Grace, What a terrific news filled update. You seem to be doing lots and lots of swimming so how lucky for you all that the temperature is heaps warmer up there. Did Dad explain to you why the water in the plunge pool at Emma Gorge was so cold? Hint hint, it falls from such a massive height that it cools down heaps on the way down. Those warm spots are terrific though. Fancy Dad getting you bogged in the sand as well as going through deep water and getting water in the car. I bet he was in Mum's bad books for just a tiny while. Keep up the updates Grace. We love reading them and seeing all the beautiful photos. Much love to you all from Nan and Pa xxxx
