In Broome at Cable Beach, I was lucky to take a sunset camel ride. We drove to the beach and then walked along the sand to the yellow tent where all the camels were lined up ready to go for a walk. They all had saddles and two people could ride on one camel. I walked up to the front camel and started to pat it, then Mummy called out my name and Chris the camel driver, heard that my name wad Matilda and he said “let me introduce you to Waltzing Matilda”. Daddy and I were lucky enough to ride on Tilly. When Tilly was younger, she used to work on a farm. Instead of the farmer using a horse or motorbike to work on the farm he used to ride Tilly but one day, Tilly had a car accident and the farmer thought she may be too old and lame to work on the farm anymore. Tilly was lucky enough to be bought by the Sunset Camel Riders and if she hadn’t been, she would have been sold for dog food. I enjoyed the camel ride and watching the sunset over the water. Love Matilda xxxxoooo

Can you pick which shadow is mine?
Here is a picture of the sunset my daddy took after we finished our camel ride.
It sounds like you had good fun on the camel ride. Monique brought a soft toy camel to school in her Wonder Box. Pravinth said it was lucky that that Tilly survived the car accident and now has a job to do.
Bye for now

Hi everyone! What a great time you’re having. We are so enjoying hearing about it and seeing the photos. This morning, at first glance, we thought what beautiful pearls John had bought for you, Colleen, until we saw the price … if only, eh. Sarah, we love the photo of you – your eyes as big and round as that fabulous $100000 pearl. John, you were very brave to tackle that gas problem … do take care, you could end up with worse than a burnt finger. Colleen, you are a great narrator, maybe you should write a book! We love reading your comments , keep up the good work. Looks like you all had a ball with the whales and snorkelling. Emma, I just knew you’d have that sewing kit with you – that little girl was lucky you came along at the right time to fix her cozzie. Matilda, you are enjoying every moment. Your smile gets bigger every day. The camel ride looked fun. We don’t know which is our favourite photo so far. It will be interesting to ask you all , when the trip is finished, what was your favourite place? Ro, that was a good idea to photograph all your different caravan sites – anymore ideas. We like the competition – how many photos? – and are about to put our ‘thinking caps’ on. Anyway, travellers, keep enjoying … we love sharing it with you. Lots of love, Nanna & Poppa. XXXXXX OOOOOO
Re: your comment “any more ideas”… yep, plenty. Stay tuned!
