June 26 (Day 7)

Well, today was an adventure. It started off slowly, as we didn’t do anything until ten. We left with our caravan to go to Rolleston. There was water over the road at only one point on the highway, but it was so shallow it was not a problem. When we got to Rolleston, we booked a caravan park for the night and left our caravan there. We had lunch on the road to Canarvon Gorge. Soon the road became dirt. We headed along this road until we came to a line of cars that had stopped because there was water over the road. There was a Land Cruiser, a Mazda 4WD and a Subaru Outback. After seeing some other cars go through from the other side, we went through. Each on of them made it though, and our car did it very easily. We kept going for a little longer until we came to another creek we had to cross. This one took about half an hour, since there was a Honda Jazz that had stalled in the middle. Luckily, the guy with the other Land Cruiser pulled him out. We had to take some of the people who had stalled up to their campsite. We finally got to the start of the walks, but it was already 2:30. We found out that the main track had fast flowing water over it, so we had to do the smaller tracks. We got two and a half of them done. When I say half,I mean we stopped halfway through the longest one where there was a bunch of stones and the creek had widened. Here I attempted to teach Hannah how to skip a stone, and a almost broke my old record of 10. We walked back to our car and began driving back to Rolleston. The first one was lower than it was in the morning. The second one was faster, but we made it through. The guy on the other side who had a Prado, crossed over after us. We got home at 6:30.
