Day 21: Kata Tjuta

Today we had pancakes for breakfast. Then we did dot animal paintings next to the gallery. I dot painted a snake but I rushed it a bit because we only had one hour. There was also scratch art that I took home.

Then we went out to Kata Tjuta and we did the Valley of the Winds walk. You weren't allow to take photos of the rocks because the formations were sacred to the traditional owners.

Then we went home and had a snack and went to the camel farm for a tour. You weren't allowed to bring you own bags, so they gave you a bag to put your stuff in. You also got a sheep skin to put on the saddle. I went with Mum and our camel was named Khan. Khan had a muzzle, our guide told us it was because he liked stealing water bottles 😀. We went pretty slow and got to watch the sunset. But Theo and Dad's camel Trigger could go up to 75kph because he was a racing camel. When we got back, I got a keychain and badge. The keychain was a picture of Khan. I also got a Solo and juice. We went out to dinner and I got a burger and chips. The camels were awesome and amazing!🐪

Day 15: William Creek to Coober Pedy

Today we drove from William Creek to Coober Pedy. In Coober Pedy there was a metal tree, a tree with lots of helmets, and a big winch. We camped in the carpark of the Old Timers Mine. For dinner we went to Dad's Pizza bar.

Day 14: Marree to William Creek

Today we drove from Marree to William Creek and by the way William is very much lacking in creek. The road was very bumpy and the cutlery draw fell out and went everywhere. We had lunch at Lake Eyre and took some photos - I had been learning about Lake Eyre in school before we left. The truck light fell off so we had to stop to fix it. We also stopped at Mutonia Sculpture Park to look at some statues my favourite one was the flower.
