Ayers Rock

Hello
Last night we slept in a swag at the Ooraminna bush camp which is outside of Alice springs. We slept under a shed a in our swags. A swag is a canvas covering that you put a sleeping bag and a foam mattress inside. Our swag was really warm and Mrs. Mcguire admitted that she would rather camp than stay in a hotel. We even have that on camera. To go to the bush camp and to come home we had to take a four wheel drive bus because all the roads were closed and very muddy. After a 6 hour bus ride to Uluru we got to see an Aboriginal man show us the tools he used to use to hunt. We got to try to throw a spear and dot paint. Then we checked in to our hotel and i was a little scared when i saw a can of bug spray on the counter.

    Did you need to use the bug spray?

    Hi Alec,
    Sleeping in the swag must have been different. I don't think I could have done it. Miss you,
    Love Auntie

    You made out with the bug spray! Erin and I went to a hotel at 10pm in FL, and we found people already in the room. How is the food? Getting much rest?

    Hi Alec,

    I wish I was with you guys. I would be afraid of the bug spray too. If there are any mosquitos they come to bite me and never land on anyone else! Have a great time in the Outback. By the way, any Outback Steakhouses there?

    Hi Alec,
    I am a technology resource teacher in Virginia. It sounds like you are having a wonderful adventure! I really want to know if you had to use the bug spray....and what kind of bugs it eliminates! The kangaroo autopsy sounds fascinating. We once saw a whale autopsy on the beach in NC. It had died from plastic bags filling up its stomach. Any idea what might have caused the eye injury to the kangaroo?

    I look forward to reading more about this adventure!
