God's Creation

A few weeks ago, we went to the Bungle Bungles

The first day, we went to Echidna Chasm.  It’s fun in there; in one place, the light hit the rock and bounced off as a different colour.  There were some rocks stuck in between the sides of the chasm.  The colour of the rocks were a dark browny-orange when the sun hit the rocks.  It took about ½ hour to get there and ½ hour to get back.

On the second day, we went the domes, which are the beehive-shaped rocks.  We saw lots of conglomerate rock; conglomerate rocks look like shells stuck together.  They were stuck together from the wet season.  There was lots of lines on the domes.

Day three:  We went to the Mini Palms Gorge walk; there was lots of rock climbing (I like climbing) to get there.  There was stairs to get up steep rocks.  At the end, the was a fence, like a balcony; there was lots of palm trees down below and around us.  The fence was there to stop people from going down there to kill the plants, and it wasn’t safe.  Then we went back to the car, and went back to the camp.  And we went out again to see the sunset going down on a rock.  We were actually seeing the light and shadows when the sun set.  And we found out that colour was the same to the one at Andy’s Chasm, but darker.

Day Four: We packed up the tents, and we went back home, but it was far away.  It took six hours to get home. It made me sick, in the car, but when I hopped out, I wasn’t sick.  We all ate a pie in the car.  We listened to Odyssey and Mr Henry.

I liked the Bungle Bungles.  It was really cold at nighttime, but thanks to Mum, she gave us some hot chocolates to make us warm, and Mum got us some hot water bottles to sleep with.  Mum let us have more hot chocolates in the morning!  I woke up very early every morning, while everybody was still asleep, except for Mum and Dad.  And I saw the sun every day coming up, it was really nice.

What an amazing camping trip you had Daniel - it must look very different in amongst all those rocks than from above. And who would think it would get so cold way up north there. Your blog makes me want to go camping there too - as long as I can have a hot water bottle too. Ham'G
