At Cape le grand National park we saw some kangaroos, there are six of them.  They bounce around the camp site sometimes they go onto the beach and rest there.  We swam at the beach but we didn’t see a kangaroo resting there.  We can drive on the beach with our 4x4.  I am looking forward to that.

Yesterday we went to the glouster tree.  It is a tree that you can climb because there is pegs sticking out of the tree.  That isn’t the only tree with pegs.  There is one more and it is called the bicenteniel tree.  The bicenteniel tree is 75m tall and the glouster tree is 61m tall.  Daddy climbed both trees and he got to the very top.  The sign said this climb is not for children.  I would have loved to have climbed with dad, but I will have to wait till im older.

At Cape Leuuwin we climbed the tallest lighthouse on mainland Australia.  It was 40m tall and panited white so that ships see it from a distance.  You could see the part that joins the Indian Ocean and the southern Ocean from it.  There was 172 steps and the tour gide needed a rest at the middle of the lighthouse.  At the last plapform the tour guide said that the lighthouse keeper almost lost his finger in the cogs.  In olden days there was a handle that you wind for ten mins and it lifts a vere hevy weight then it goes down.  It takes 2 hours then the light stops spinning.

Yesterday we went to the Pinnacles.  The Pinnacles are giant limestone figers in the sand.  We walked 150m to the Pinnacle desert.  The Pinnacle desert is called the Pinnacle desert because it looks like a desert and it has Pinnacles.  At the Pinnacles we took lots of photos and we played hide and seek.  Before we did this we went to the discovery center and the gift shop.  After we walked around we did the 4Km drive around the Pinnacles.  To get home we were in the car for 1 hour and 45 mines.  I enjoyed the Pinnacles

Yesterday we went to Circular pool in Karijini National park.  Circular pool was in a gorge.  So we had to climb down first.  It was hard but the steps were made realy well. About half way down there was a ladder with 6 steps.  When we got to the bottom we had to climb over lots of rocks and water falls.  When we got to the pool the edge was very rocky.  When we got in the water was freezing but we soon got used to it.  We had a swim but a cold one.  When we were done we put our shirt on and went back up the gorge.

At Cape range national park there is lots of Snorkelling to do.  My favourite was oyster stacks.  When we got there we had to climb down a little rock cliff into the water but we found a safe way of getting down.  When we were in the water we started to snorke  And I saw a big fish 1 metre or less.  There are lots of fish but mostly small fish.  My favourite was the little red fish.  We also saw a lot of coral.
