Spinifex Festival-The Fair in Port Hedland




I went to a fair on Saturday and went into a zorb ball. They were fanastic.I had a turn in the bumper cars with Dad and I drove the car. I span around in the middle of the circuit and crashed into Kade's car.

I got 2 show bags full of bubble gum and sour lollies. I bought a ring made of beads from a lady who sold hairclips, shell rings, bracelets and belts. They were all beautiful and I wanted to buy the whole store!!!!!!

I went on a jumping castle, it had a climbing post to get up to the big slide and a play area at the front.









We saw 2 bands play. The first band are locals and are called Sliptanfell. The 2nd band was called End of Fashon. This was the first time I went to a real band. Dad and I danced and he swang me around in circles.



















My face was painted as a blue butterfly and I had a tattoo of Jasper airbrushed on my thigh. There was horse riding and I got to ride Starlight. It was the biggest horse at the festival. It was a fab day.

Dad's Work



Dad is building a motel, Mum says it's a mining camp. Kade thinks it's in the middle of the desert but it's only 10km away near the airport.



It looks like lego blocks on an orange game board, Kade says.
I think it looks like a Pokemon Ball! :-) By Charlie

Charlie's Crabbing Experience



During the week I found a crab. It lives on the beach in Pretty Pool. It looks like a fighting crab. The crab probably has a Mum and a Dad.
I saw this crab and I'm guessing it was looking for fish to make friends with and it found a Hermit crab. I got really scared from just looking at it. It was fat and has big claws. Dad pulled up a rock and the crab had a fight with my Dad. The crab won. No crabs for dinner tonight.



Now we have a crab net, now you're not going to escape Crabbies. Here we come!



School of the Home


I started home school this Monday. I'm usually in a private school, but this term I'm being schooled at home. I think it's better than normal schools in some ways, like having a teacher for two people instead of waiting 2 hours for the teacher to get to you . Then you forget your question and you have to go through the entire process again and again until its recess time.Then you have extra work for home( which always sucks as this has happened to me a few times!). When I'm home schooled, I think it's better that your teacher at home( in this case my mum) gives you work that you specifically need to help you in school, instead of just being given the same work as everyone else in the class. The only problem I have with home schooling is that I can't see my friends like I would be able to if I was still in Geelong.


At home school we learned about how to blog on the laptop, we got sidetracked when we went to the beach for two hours(instead of 3o min.) We also did stuff like drawing and maths and lots of other things like indonesian and swimming in our own pool( I doubt you could do so much at school in 1 week!).

Thy QANTAS Club by Kade


When I first arrived at thy qantas club, I will openly admit that I was surprised. All of the seats were new, the food and drinks were free, and you could read magazines(for free). It looked great, the food was excellent and the magazines were new( as far as i could tell!) I had to wait about an hour until our flight left for Perth, so I used the time wisely, eating delicious biscuts ,camembert and bree cheese, all and all,filling my stomach with treats. I talked about the flight to my sister Charlie to waste some time until we left.

Plane to Perth and PH by Charlie


Sat 11th July
I am on the plane now and the seat belt light just went off. I am in a cloud. The Steward just said, "Lunch will be served." I am on top of a cloud and sitting near the engine. It looks like there is a lake in the clouds. They are very puffy and the small ones move really quickly. The sun is shining in my eyes.
Kade is playing on his laptop. I am going to Perth and from Perth to Port Hedland.
It is all white but one bit. It looks like there is a ditch in the clouds.

I am now on the plane to Port Hedland. I had chicken and rice. My mum is playing Kade's DS. She is playing Who Wants to be a Millionaire. The first answer is C. The next one is C. The next one is D. The next one is B. The next one is A and she lost!!
I went in the Qantas club and it was fun. It was for free and there were nice drinks and food.
