Journal entries from Rockhampton
July 29 2005 |
This is a Kookaburra on the hotel balcony |
Kesly had a friend to keep her company on the long bus ride |

Today we left the
Whitsunday’s for Rockhampton. We drove for 6 hours and then
we found out that where we were going had the largest pool in the
southern hemisphere, even though it isn’t heated. I slept
in a large room that was set up for four people and it was just
Shelbie and me in the room. Dinner was spaghetti and I sat next
to Carlee and Harrison. For desert I had a big bowl of whipped cream
and a pinch of lime Jell-O. My bed was very cramped because I was
the bottom bunk and the top bunk was very low. |

Today I woke up and had eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast. Then we went to the Aboriginal Dreamtime Cultural Center. There I bought and threw a boomerang, learned about the Torres Straight Islanders, and learned about the Aboriginal Dreamtime, which is how the Aborigines think the world began. |

After that, we
drove to the Capricorn
Caves and had burgers for lunch. Once the burgers were gone,
we explored the caves. I got my first experience of cave darkness.
Then we drove back to the hotel, where we had dinner then went to
bed. |
