Day 7- 26th June 2015
Still in Uluru

Wow, what a day we had today. We started off by waking up early to get to the rock early enough to climb it. Unfortunately it was closed due to strong winds. Then we decided to walk around the whole entire rock. It was 12km all around basically. It took us 4hours. My friend Mackenzie and I, walked around it by ourselves. When we got home Mackenzie and I, painted our nails and straightened our hair. Then Meg, Mackenzie and I made a music video to Pretty girls by Brittany spears and Iggy azalea. We so hope that our lucky last day here tomorrow can give us good luck to climb the rock.

Day 6- 25th June 2015
Still in Uluru

Today we woke up bright and early to watch the sunrise on the lookout. After everyone got ready, we drove to Ayers Rock. WOW. It was so BIG. Unfortunately it was closed, due to strong winds. Instead we walked 1/4 around it. Later in the day, we visited the olgas. We started off by going up and down a track. That one was pretty easy. Then we went to the 2nd track. It was so challenging. It was 1km to the 1st lookout. When we got to the 1st lookout it was so amazing. Only a few of us went to the 2nd lookout which was 3km more. Quentin and I decided to jog most of the way, until we came across a massive, steap hill. We then watched the sunset on the rocks and headed back to the caravan park. What a day we had, it was so great. Hopefully we can climb the rock tomorrow.

Day 5- 24th June 2015
Coober pedy - Uluru

Yesterday we woke up so early to head to Uluru. It took 11 hours to get there. We finally arrived after a adventure of long travels. We settled in to the caravan park then we had a look on the lookout of Ayers Rock. My cousins and I played many games of volley ball. It's quite fun playing ball games in the bright red dirt. Anyway, even though it took a long time it was worth it.

Day 4- 23rd June 2015
Still in Coober Pedy

Yesterday we had quite an adventure exploring the town of Coober Pedy. After we drive around we went to this Hong Kong mans place. He was quite a cracker. We visited Faye's underground house. Which was so fascinating to hear the stories about how underground houses were built. We went noodling for opal and we went to lots of opal places. I didn't know how such a small bare town can have so much history.

Day 2- 21st June 2015
Mildura - Port Augusta

Yesterday's road trip was pretty funny once we got on the road. When we packed up our van and headed off we had quite a few giggles along the way. Meg and Demi were telling funny jokes. When we stopped in Berri for lunch my cousin Quentin was kicking the footy when he acididently kicked it in the water. Before I knew it Quentin had stripped off to his undies and jumped in the water to grab the footy. Considering it was like at 8 degree day. We arrived at port Augusta and rode our scooters for ages.

Day 3- 22nd June 2015
Port Augusta - Coober Pedy

Yesterday we woke up bright and early for a long 7 hour drive to Coober Pedy. As we packed up our van I rode my scooter for a while. It was a bit of a boring drive but it was good to see some things bare, with hardly any trees. We arrived at Coober pedy around 5:00pm. When we got there we played on this amazing park, with awesome equipment.
