Kalbarri Day 4

Today I slept so long that when I woke up there was sunlight streaming throughout the window in my bunk. After gutting up and writing yesterdays blog I had breakfast. Mum made the hot chocolate for a change. After breakfast Dad and I went and cleaned Mum's fish. Dad did the filleting and the skinning and I did the washing. By the time we finished my hands smelled like raw fish and we had about 3 kilos of Mulloway. We gave about one kilo away to the guys who run the caravan park and Mum gave three steaks and a fillet to a kind old woman that she'd met. The rest was ours and I had a job storing it in the fridge.

After that we had an early lunch and then drove to the Kalbarri gorge. We drove the kind old woman whose name was Wilma to the Gorge as well. All the signs said that in the gorges the temperature can be 10 degrees hotter than outside the gorge. First we walked to Natures window which is a natural oval window in the rock. It was formed by corrosion and wind wearing the rock away. We only walked for a bit after natures window and then turned back because it was so hot.

After that we drove to the Z bend lookout. It was interesting and very pleasant in the shade. Wilma handed round some mints and we ate some on the way back up to the car. When we were safely back in the car we turned on the air-condition full blast and cooled down. We arrived back at the caravan park and dropped Wilma off at her motor home. Then we drove to our caravan and Dad and I made some more of the rigs that Mum caught her fish in yesterday.

After that we started coking dinner. Mum made some more Tomato Salsa, Dad fried the fish and I fried the potatoes. Dinner was delicious and we ate our fill very fast. After that we head off night fishing but this time it was just Dad and Me. When we arrived at the jetty we were surprised to see lots of other people there. We set up and immediately this annoying little Tailor started nibbling our bait off. Then I hooked a small Mulloway. It was only about 40 cm and found itself back in the water in no time. We didn't catch anything after that except some small Tailor. After that we drove back to the caravan and I went to bed.
