Day Four

I woke up about 6:00 because wind was very loud. I went out side and had a look at the rising sun and read, waiting for mum to wake up. When everyone was up we had breakfast, which was Bacon and eggs on toast. We then started to pack up the van because we were planning to drive up to the siding springs observatory and go and have a look at the AAT (Anglo Australian Telescope) so we bolted up the caravan and drove up the hill. 

We arrived up the top of the hill we got out and it was freezing. We went in side the obereservatory and paid to have a look at the displays. We also found out how heavy we would be on the planets which was quite fun! We then went up to the AAT which was up another hill. When we were up the hill it was so cold! We dashed to the door and went inside, we went up a lift and had a look around the gallery, we were able to see the humongous telescope. It was magnificent! We then came back down and got a collective spoon, a keying and a sticker.

After the AAT we came back down the hill, stopping to have a look at the planets. When we reached the bottom and arrived at the campground Dad dropped Mum, Sarah and I off at the visitors centre while they went to hitch the caravan up to the car. We went inside the visitors centre to get a keying, a collective spoon and a sticker. We had a chat with the front desk woman for a little while, then we headed back to the caravan and headed off.

We were heading for Dubbo where we were staying the night. It took a little while to get to Dubbo, it was about 1:30pm when we got there. We went to the information centre to have a look in and see what they had. We then went to the park that was behind the information centre where we had lunch which was this time chicken sandwiches. After lunch we went to the Old Dubbo Gaol. Thos was really cool seeing the Old Gaol there and ow people were punished in the olden days. A guide told us how many escapes were tried and failed and some of them were quite funny. It was really amazing at the Gaol. After we had finished in the Gaol we got an keyring for Sarah. 

After the Jaol we went to find a caravan park where we were going to stay the night. We decided to go to the caravan park called Dubbo City. We arrived there and they had a spot, so we set up the caravan there. The caravan park had a pool, a playground, a basket ball hoop and a jumping pillow which Sarah was eager to go on. So mum took us over there after she had put on the washing. It was really fun in the jumping pillow, bouncing up and down. We then went t have dinner which was take away because we were too lazy to make anything and it was getting dark so we wandered over to the shops and got pizza for Dad, Mum and I and Tim and Sarah had burgers and we all had chips with it. After dinner we had amino and went to bed.
