Out In The Outback ( and the last day in Melbourne )

 I haven’t written for so long! I am in California  and I haven’t written since Melbourne! I can’t believe I am almost done on this trip : (  The day in Melbourne we packed. And then with our Nana and Papa we went to a place called Rippen Lea Gardens Rippen Lea Gardens is a huge place. There’s a Terrace A Mansion and  acres of grassy land. Some filmers were filming the movie “ Picnic At Hanging Rock” If you watch that movie the part where the Lady walks out of the house and into the horse and carriage you can imagine me and my family and Nana and Papa standing right where the horse and carriage goes ( strait ).  Anyway after that we went back to the apartment room and packed a little bit more. And left to a Lebanese Resturant. We met the Olsen’s. The Olsen’s are the people that I talked about in my other blog post, my dad’s friend from college and his family. The next day woke up at 5:30 AM and got ready to go to Uluru!  After a three hour plane ride we arrived at Uluru. We stayed at a place called Emu Walk Apartments. Our room wasn’t ready yet, so we had lunch at Kulatā Academy Café.  Then we waited in the Check in place or whatever you call it. After our room was ready we got into our swimsuits and went to the pool. That night we went to dinner and my dad caught a lizard (and let it go) and then we bought dinner and brought it back and we had ravioli that was our dinner of course. We made it. The next day we woke up early and drove to Uluru as the sun rose. We got there did a little quick hike to a waterhole place with the aboriginals got their water. We went back to the apartment and got a free buffet breakfast that we soon learned to love that was super good. We hung out. Then for dinner we went to a place called the Pioneer  Kitchen  where my dad had to cook the meat on the grill for emu sausage, kangaroo and crocodile. The crocodile was good it wasn’t  my favorite thing ever the kangaroo was OK I didn’t really like it though and the Emu sausage was… disgusting. The next day we got up early to go see the Olga’s another rock formation also known as Kata Tjuta. We hiked up a little Cliff thing to see the Olga’s closer up. If you want to know more about Uluru I will do another post about it’s facts. We got back had the breakfast and then we went to a little projector movie thing about the crow, cockatoo, and the Eagle then we went to dinner at a different apartment. And the kids got a separate table. The next day my dad loaded everything into our car and we were off.
