Day Three

We survived the first night! I woke up about 5:30am because the noise from the trucks was so loud! I read on my kindle till Mum woke. We had breakfast which was nutri-grain and toast. After breakfast we had to start packing the up the beds and getting everything down ready to wind down the caravan, But... There was a problem, the caravan didn't want to wind down. But luckily we have a superman on board, Dad. We helped dad get everything out of the caravan and he got in and started pulling stuff apart. Finally he found the problem, the cable had jammed on the winch.  Dad, of corse figured out how to fix it and in no time we were putting everything back into the caravan, winding down the caravan and hitching it up to the car. We were off!

We were off to Narrabri which took about an hour. At Narrabri we went to the Australian Telescope which was really cool. The radio telescopes were humongous! We read some information about the telescopes. There was a film about the telescopes that we watched which was quite informative. After the Australian Telescope we went and had lunch in Narrabri which was sandwiches and chocolate milk, which was extremely nice! Then we went to the visitors centre where we got to go in a full size real harvester that use to harvest cotton, it we on model. We also bought a collective spoon for me, a keying for Sarah and a sticker of the cotton fields for the caravan. 

We then left to ho to the sandstone caves. Dad had missed the entry to thee caves so we had to do a U-turn with the caravan on board which was fun. So when we got in to the entry we had to go along a bumpy road to the start of the trail. We had to put on our runners and fill up our water bottles before we started. It said that it would be an hour walk around the caves but we found some stairs and took them only going a short way. We got to see two spectacular caves that look very nice. On one of them the was some Aboriginal carvings of emu and kangaroo footprints and some axe sharpening grooves. Dad said that it might have been a school. After them we decided to turn back because it was getting late.

After the caves we had to head of to the place that we were going to sleep at. We were heading for Warrumbungle. We decided to see if we can get a spot in a caravan park. It was a long way to the caravan park, we had to he'd up a hill then down the hill. I thought it was a awesome ride because there were so many views. This area had a fire at the start of last year in January. We finally made it to the park and they had plenty of space, so we payed our $19.00 and went and found a site. We went up to the facility block and had nice hot shower which were lovely. When we got back i made dinner which was sweet and sour chicken, which was very nice. We then had dessert which was choc chip muffins. After we were fed we went and walked around the campsite in the dark which was really cool! We then did a bit of stargazing and then went to bed.
