So we’re at Carnarvon Gorge (pronounced “ka-naav-en”) and had just spent our first night in really comfy cabins. I heard it was going to be cold, but the weather is actually really nice. In any case, this morning I woke u
p early and helped make breakfast! It was pretty awesome. I cooked eggs for everyone. : )
Our main activity today was to learn to innovate as the Aboriginals did. Our field guide, Simon, split us into two teams and challenged us to make a water basket, a boomerang, and a rope cutting utensil with the natural materials found in a designated area for a prize (Tim Tams).
My team totally won, by the way. But in Aboriginal culture, the winners get served last. So that was cool.
We also went on this jaw-dropping amazing hike through Warrumba Creek Gorge and Mickey Creek Gorge. Here are some pictures! 
June 8 – June 9
We spent the last two days going on a lot of scenic hikes and learning about the Gorge’s unique geology history and Aboriginal culture. We also saw a snake!
Did you know: the Aboriginal people of Australia used handprints and engravings of vulvas to keep track of births as they migrated through the Gorge? We saw a lot of these paintings at the Art Gallery area, pictured below. 
Also, we had kangaroo as part of dinner one night…who knew that kangaroo actually tastes pretty good?
