Today we were going to go sight seeing around Glen Helen. But before we did dad challenged me to another rock skimming contest down at the river, I won by getting 8 skims while dad got 7 skims. After we'd done that, we got on the road to Redbank Gorge. When we were nearly there we decided to go to this place called Gosse Bluff 66km out. When we got to Gosse Bluff we did the 10min walk going through the bluff. When we were nearly at the end we saw a path veering off to he side going up a big hill. We climbed it and saw the fantastic view from the top looking over the whole bluff. When other people started come up, we started to descend down the slope and when we got to the bottom we continued on our walk. After we'd finished the walk we went back to the car, had a couple of snacks and then got back on the road and headed for Redbank Gorge. When we got to Redbank Gorge we started going on the walk straight away. It was a beautiful walk and we were walking right next to the river. When we got to the end it was so beautiful and there were millions of perfect rocks to skim. We were out of there in about 10min and were on our way back to the carpark. When we got back again we had some snacks and got back on the road again. We went straight to Mt Sonder Lookout. As you might guess it overlooks Mt Sonder in the distance. We were only there for about 5min then we were on the road to Orminston Gorge. But when we got there we found out that due to flooding on all the walks you had to swim through cold water, so we left and headed for the caravan park. When we got back dad and I went to our perfect spot for skimming stones and went down there to skim a couple. After that we found out that the State Of Origon was on in the pub that night so we went home and got ready to go out. We had dinner and realised that we were 2 hours early so we watched Home Alone 3. By the time that had finished we went to the pub to watch the State Of Origon. When we got there we found out that most of the people there supported QLD, so that was good considering we went for QLD. Mum and I went back to the van at half-time, QLD were winning 10-0. Mum and I watched Crocodile Dundee 2 before going to bed.
