We visited the Museum and learnt about the Batavia. This was a ship wrecked not too far along the coast, long before any Europeans had settled in WA. Many people survived the sinking ship, but fought with each other over access to supplies. The captain and a couple others had sailed to Indonesia in a long boat for help and returned to find many of the people murdered.
We also went to the HMAS Sydney Memorial site. There was lots of information about the sinking of this WWII ship with over 600 people on board. The centre of the memorial was a cool dome made of steel cut out seagulls, one for each of the people who died.
I went shopping with Dad to buy a hi lift jack. Dad had to fix another leaf spring in the trailer. The caravan park where we stayed had a big jumping pillow and a pool. Luke, Tom and I went swimming - the water was a bit cold. There was an awesome camp kitchen and I made a cake! It was delicious.
