Are you sick of that caravan?
Not really.
Was it fun swimming with turtles, seeing parrot fish and other animals?
Yes I loved it!
What was it like seeing whales and dolphins?
It was really cool seeing the dolphins come so close to the boat. And seeing the whales splash.

Making the hermit crab farm and snorkeling with manta rays.
Which was your favourite place so far? And least favourite?
My favourites were Pender Bay because we made some friends and a hermit crab farm and Ningaloo Reef (Cape Range and Coral Bay) because it had good snorkeling spots. My least favourite spot was the camp site outside the Bungle Bungles because it had really smelly toilets.

Olivia A few questions from Olivia's school classmates...
Do you ever get car sick? That's a lot of driving each day! Are you looking forward to coming back to school?
Sometimes if I am in the car for to long I don't feel very good. I am definitely
exited to go back to school!
How cold was it when you where riding the camels? What has been the minimum and maximum temperatures you've experienced so far? Also, are you interested in watching a dance a few of us made when you come back?
We did the sunset camel ride so it was warm enough to not even bring a jumper! The minimum temperature so far was 4°C in Halls Gap and the max was 36°C in Darwin. Yes, I would love to watch a dance!
What has been your favorite part of the trip so far?
My favourite part of the trip so far has been the camel rides and making new
friends, but I also enjoyed the manta ray tour even if it was really cold. Also
we went to a space museum yesterday and that was pretty cool.
What parts would you recommend people visit and what parts would you not recommend?
I would recommend Uluru because it is cool that it kinda changes colours and
Exmouth/Cape Range because of all the fish, turtles and other sea creatures.
I wouldn't not recommend anything!
Have you made lots of friends and have you made any money with the bracelets you are selling?
I have made a bit more money and have started selling ones made out of Clay
Beads but no one has bought any yet and I have made lots of new friends!
Do you have to do any school work?
I don't have to do any work other than keep a journal and do some blog posts 😀.
Does walking on the sand in the desert feel like walking on the beach?
It depends if the beach sand is wet or not. But I haven't walked on desert sand
with bare feet so I don't know for sure.
Have you seen any whales jump out of the water?
Yes some in Pender Bay!
Are you starting to get sick of the caravan?
Sort of but we spend a lot of time outside.
