It’s Fathers Day today. We started the morning wishing Dad a happy Fathers Day. We made him breakfast, a card and a picture. Then we got ready because we had a few places to go that day.
We first drove to Glen Helen to use the public phone, so mum and dad could call their dads and then we drove to Redbank Gorge. We did a nice walk along the creek bed to the end where there was a pool. There were hundreds of Zebra Finches that swarmed around our heads and then went down to the bank to have a swim and a drink.
Then we drove on a 4x4 track and had to stop half way to help some people who’s car had slid off the path. Once we got to the end of the track at Roma Gorge, we had lunch and then walked out into the gorge. There were heaps of Aboriginal Petroglyphs (rock carvings) and most of them were patterns. We also saw 3 black-footed rock wallabies up on the ledge high above us. Again there was hundreds of Zebra Finches here too, that swarmed around us.
We then drove back out of the 4WD track and then to Gosse Bluff which a beautiful spot. It was also where a 600 metre wide comet had crashed to earth 142 million years ago. The comet had so much force that it forced rocks to push out the ground around it, forming a beautiful circle of mountains. Then we drove back to the caravan to find 2 of the girls I met way earlier in the trip parked next to us, Jamilla and Mietta. We played with them for the rest of the afternoon and had a new kind of icy pole with them too. We all sat around the the fire that night.
