Just recently I just came back from a camping trip down south. It was at Conto's campground and we stayed for 6 days(1 week). We did heaps and heaps of things and i will tell you what we did from Monday up till Saturday.


Monday

The trip took about 3 and a half hours. The only time we stopped was at the Busselton Jetty to have lunch. Then we were off again when we arrived at the campground dad went around all of the campgrounds to check out the facilities and see if there were any vacant spots. Luckily there was a vacant spot and we started setting up our tent. When we were pitching the tent dad counted the wrong amount of poles so the tent got a bit funny shaped! But in the end we worked it out and got the right amount of poles and the tent went back to its normal shape.

Later in the evening after we had settled in to the campsite we went to look at the Conto beach and the Conto spring. The Conto beach was like a surfers paradise. The waves there were massive. Conto Spring had big waves too but it also had a fresh water spring when you first enter the beach, i had a taste of the water and it's really fresh clean water!!!

When we went back to the campsite we met the campground host. Coincidentally we met the same campground host as the one we met in our last camping trip. His name is Eric. Dad and him had heaps of chats when he was at out campsite.


Tuesday

In the morning we went bird watching and we spotted 10 birds. We also heard lots of bird calls. In the morning after the bird watching we went to look at a cave it was called Lake Cave. It was the first toured cave that i have ever been to. It was so spectacular and it was 75m underground. The stalactites and stalacmites took millions and millions of years to form! Later in the afternoon we went to Hamelin bay to just have a dip and to freshen ourselves up.

In the morning we tried to find a fishing spot but we couldn't it was too windy. Then we went to Margret River and bought some groceries. We also had lunch there and we had a burger and some wraps with a mango smoothie.YUM. Then we walked around the place a little and went back to the campsite. We got to light a fire in the fire ring and we cooked dinner on that. When we were eating dinner we got swooped by a Kookaburra. It was scary and weird all at the same time.


Thursday

In the morning we went to the Conto's Beach and we walked along and picked up rubbish and some shell-fish shells and seaweed. Then mum, dad and i went back to the campsite and we made lunch and had lunch. After lunch we went for a little walk and then mum and dad dropped me off at the campsite and they went for a long walk. Then when they came back I had my shower underneath the camping shower we bought just recently. It was so warm because we put it on the ground with the black side up so it absorbed the heat.


Friday

In the morning on Friday we just stayed at the campsite and just chilled I guess. Then we made lunch at the campsite. Then the really exciting thing was in the evening we went for a night tour at Calgardup Cave. It was not bright so we have to have a head torch and a carry torch, the adults only had a carry torch but we had the head torch and the carry torch. We also had a tour guide. We were split into 2 groups and we were with Tracey. Tracey the head ranger of all the rangers that came to the campsites. She's also a cave tour guide. In the cave we went to a really interesting part of the cave. It had tree roots hanging from little holes off the cave ceiling. It was so amazing. You wouldn't think tree roots would come so far down. We also went to a part where it so low that you had to squat and walk at the same time it was so low. In that cave you could also do abseiling down and you would land on a platform in the cave. It was so fun.


Saturday

On Saturday we made sure that we woke up extra early so we could pack up our stuff and go so we could get to Mandurah and have lunch there. We stopped at the place where we usually go crabbing in Mandurah and we had lunch in the car. Then it was full steam ahead all the way home.

That was the big Camping Trip/Holiday for me this summer holidays.

Hey people it's the new year! wow! I want to wish everyone a happy new year from me!
