Today we went to Gregory Downs from Karumba. On the way
there, we stopped at a famous roadhouse called Bourke and Wills to clean off
the kangaroo that we hit. If I didn’t mention this before, on the way there, a
dead kangaroo went under our car and hit our spare tyre. It bounced up like a
frog and hit our caravan and made a disgusting mess.
While dad was cleaning the mess off our car
and caravan, we got some nice, sweet cold ice-blocks because it was boiling
hot. We were all sweating so much, I had never sweated so quickly before.
We soon got back on the road for about an hour and a half
then eventually we arrived at our first free camping stop at Gregory Downs. When
we got there we went in the river to have a quick swim.
It was very very very
refreshing, after our long and hot trip. Emma and Grace put mud all over their
selves. That night we had noodles for dinner and then we had dessert under the
stars. I was amazed by how many and how bright they were, I think I saw the
Southern Cross.
Mum wasn’t feeling well when we woke up the next morning, so
she had an hours sleep while the rest of us swam in the river. When mum woke up
she was feeling a lot better. Then she joined in with the rest of us. We had a
lot of fun floating down the strong currents of the river and swinging off the
rope that was attached to the tall tree.
After that we went to the pub for lunch. We had calamari,
fish n’chips and a steak burger. In the afternoon we played even more in the
river. Before we had dinner that night we made a camp fire and toasted marshmallows.
After that we had dinner at Murrays house, Murray is the owner of the locaI
grocery store of Gregory Downs. Dinner was delicious, apart from the burnt
pizza. After that we went to bed. When we woke up, we packed up and went to Mt
Isa.
