Days 44 – 48

We stayed at El Questro Station in a campground by the river. It was really hot there. The first afternoon we drove around a bit with the air-conditioner on because it was too hot to do anything else.

We stood on a jetty together. The boat in the background is the one we went on the day after .

 

This is a picture of  a river that we took from a lookout. Dad saw a logodile down there.

 

This is a lookout that we went to. Mum was a bit scared on the really steep bits.

 

We went on a dingy on the Chamberlain River early in the morning. We did not see anyone else all morning.

 

Matt is driving the boat through the Chamberlain Gorge. Matt says it was quite easy to drive.

 

Che is driving the boat now.

 

This is the Chamberlain Gorge. On the way back the motor stopped working completely so Mum and Dad had to paddle back. They had forgotten to give us paddles but luckily Mum took some from another boat before we left. Lucky. Otherwise we would have been stuck up the river without a paddle.

 

Every afternoon we went swimming at this waterhole at the campground.

 

The next morning we went to Zebedee Hot Springs. Matt is swimming in one of the many many rock pools.

 

We are in another rock pool.

 

This is the biggest pool.

 

This is a photo that Dad took when he was lying on his back.

 

We are playing a game together.

 

Can you see us through the palm trees?

 

We are all sitting together.

 

Matt is 8 today! Happy birthday Matt! These are two of his presents.

 

This is Che and Matt on their horses.

 

This is Che on Encara.

 

This is Matt on Moonshine.

 

Matt had a little ice-cream cake. We had to make it quickly before it melted.

 

The next morning we got up at 5:30 and packed up the caravan before 7:30. We drove to Emma Gorge and walked into the gorge before it got too hot.

 

We swam in the pool at the gorge.

 

The water was very cold except for a little hot spring behind that rock.
