Exploring Lane Cove National Park.

Day 6
Today we are walking around Lane Cove National Park. We started getting ready around 10 o'clock, and had a hot breakfast on the BBQ (Egg & Bacon). We started to walk down to the bottom of the tourist park were there was a path to the National Park.

It was very interesting that we got to walk through the old gates which were made of, what I think is brick. It was a nice even walk  for the start of it, when the hill started to head downhill we saw some old concrete stairs, which Mum didn't relies at the time was part of the oldest cache in Australia! The stairs led up to some over hanging rocks, mum freaked out that Tim was going to fall down because he was running up and down the rocks.

We walked along the paths that revealed lots of Water Dragons (which I have to admit, freak the living daylights out of me)! Just because I have been unfortunate enough to step on one and run into another. Mum kept teasing me and saying "Come and meet your new friend", I always ran away. We kept strolling through the national park until we came upon the Fifth Command in the Ten Commands from God, but we couldn't find it on the stone, we just saw it on a plaque.

We just kept walking through the beautiful park until we got to what we think was the old Headquarters but now is a beautiful Boathouse. We all wanted to go on a boat for they rented Kayaks, Canoes, Peddle-boats and Row-boats but it was a bit too much money, so we thought we might do it another day. Continuing on our walk we noticed that the clouds which started out a nice white were getting grey and grey and grey and was moving very fast towards us. Just before the rain reached us we got shelter in an information area. The rain was so heavy that it last for about 45 mins while we were trying to interest our selves, by colouring and looking at all of the information that was displayed there.

Finally the rain finished and we decided to walk back  to the campsite but this time via the road. it was a totally different view from the road. it only took a little while to get to the stairs that led up to the Tourist Park, Mum let us make a decision, either we could go with her and Dad to find the stairs and count them again or you can  go back to the campsite. I went with Mum and Dad and Sarah and Tim headed back to the caravan.

It took quite a while to find the stairs again, by that time Mum was sore all over. We found and counted the steps (13) and headed back to the caravan. Lunch was sausages on the BBQ which I successfully cooked, we then cleaned up the caravan and headed up to the shopping centre where we looked n the other section that we had not looked in last time. After we had bought some ingredients we headed back home. I made burgers in the caravan, they tasted really nice (I love home-made burgers).

Tonight we are going on the Spotlight Tour, so we had to get ready for that. We put raincoats on incase it rains while we are on the tour. We had to meet at the office and then the guide would take us on the tour. The woman who was the guide was named Sarah. The tour was about looking for all the animals that lived in the Tourist park and to find them. It was really fun trying to find the animals, we had to race a frog that in the middle of nowhere back to its pond.

When the tour was finished we headed back to the caravan passing the tv room and what did we see on? The Bachelor. We only got to see the last 30 mins of it, when it was finished we headed back home and went to sleep.
