Day 32: Mataranka

Today we got up early to look for turtles at Bitter Springs, it was warm. I saw two but they scared me, but Theo might might have only seen one. Then we went to have breakfast and then went to the Springs again. Then we had lunch and I got to video chat with Hattie. Then we went to the Springs with Dad again. Then we went back to camp and had toasties for dinner.

Then we went to the whipping show again and it was better. I got picked to learn how to use a whip and I managed to get the whip to crack both ways. The first was around over my head and the other was up and down by my side. Theo caught a stubbie holder and got it signed after we both danced to "Cotton Eye Joe" on stage. We helped move the mats for the fire tricks and Pink Pony Club was one of the songs he whipped too.

Day 31: Larrimah to Mataranka

Today we drove from Gorrie Airfield to Mataranka. We went to the Bitter Springs and me and Theo were afraid of the crocs but luckily there were none there. We used pool noodles to float down the hot spring river then we got out walked to the top and floated down again multiple times. Then we had lunch and went again. This time with Dad. We also went to a whip show (Nathan "Whippy" Griggs). It was cool. He used lots of different whips even neon ones. I wanted a whip but we didn't get one 🙁.
