Today we were going to explore more of the McDonnell Ranges. We got up and got our backpacks packed then drove 60km to Ellery Creek Big Hole. We had a look around but there weren't many walks to do. There was a school goup doing canoeing. We left Ellery Creek and drove back 10km to Serpentine Gorge. When we got there we went on a 1hr walk through the gorge. It was pretty amazing and there was lots to do. I got ahead of mum and da right near the end. At the end there was a path going up to a lookout. It was quite hard getting up there but it was worth it. We admired the view for a while we waited for mum who found a pile of rocks that looked right down into the gorge. Mum was scared so she backed off but me and dad really liked it. We headed down the slope with mum who had to have help from dad in some spots. When we got to the bottom we went on the treck back to the car. Next we headed to the Ochre Pits. We got tot he Ochre Pits , got our backpacks and went on the 15min walk to the pits. Unfortunatley we weren't allowed to take any ochre to use as facepaint. There were all differene ttypes of ochre including red, white, black and yellow. We headed back to the carpark and lef tthe Ochre Pits and headed back to Glen Helen. When we got back it was late so we all enjoyed a movie and beautiful dinner that mum cooked. Dad stayed up for a while working on the computer while mum and I went ot bed.
