Exploring

Today was an interesting exploring day. In the morning it was raining but went to Lucky Bay the whitest beach in Australia! It was so White that when the sun shone on the sand it was hard to look at. The water was very very clear. In some of the little puddles on the rocks you cloud see little tiny fish swimming around and hiding under rocks. 


Then we drove to Thistle Cove, just when I thought Lucky Bay’s water couldn't get any better I saw the water was even more beautiful at Thistle Cove! Mathews Flinders named both Lucky Bay and Thistle Cove. There was a place called Whistling Rock, it echoed the sound of the ocean which I found quite interesting. We also spotted a crab in a little rock pool it had Yellow, Orange and Red colours. 

Then the finally the sun came out so we went back home to have lunch and I got told that we were going on a walk. But it was not a normal walk it was basically a climb up Frenchman Peak.  Frenchman Peak is a mountain over 250 metres high and over 1,200 million years old. It was a little bit scary climbing up because it was still wet from the rain and if I slipped I was done for. It took us 1 hour and 45 minutes to reach the top and back. Then we went to Hellfire Bay which was small but very very pretty and the sand was very white and felt like sugar.
