Beautiful Paronella Park

Tazzie Talk 9

I’ve just had an absolutely amazing time this week and a bit.  My favourite thing was Paronella Park and that was just beautiful.



The waterfall lit up at night

 Paronella Park

I looked out of the window of the car to see this scene that looked like a page of a fairy tale. It was the most beautiful site ever. It had 2 waterfalls and 2 castles. It was all built by a man named Jose Paronella a man with a massive dream.

He built everything by hand and it was just amazing. I loved the 2^nd waterfall. He named it after his daughter. Come on dad I would like a waterfall too, go find me one!!! The first waterfall was bigger and you could swim in the river right next to the waterfall. The castles had passed the test of time. They survived Yasi and Anthony. They have had a bit of damage done to them but I would have expected much more.



you could swim right out to the waterfall



My favourite thing was the day walk. It was a history walk and I love history. It was amazing to see what the place had looked like without the little damage from the cyclones, the little damage made a big difference to the place but it still had my mouth on the ground.



Kurrimine Beach Caravan Park

“WAHOOOOOOOOOO” I said as we pulled up to Kurrimine beach Caravan Park. I had been nagging mum and dad to take us to a caravan park with a jumping pillow. As soon as the car stopped Ry, Taj and I all ran as fast as we could to the pillow. It was so fun. I looked across to see that there was a jumping pillow in the pool.

I ran off the jumping pillow to get my bathers on. Unfortunately I had been beaten and had to wait for the sun cream. Slip, slop, and slap I was free to go in the pool. I ran super-fast and jumped in to the pool. It was a beautiful temp. As soon as my head had reached the surface I swam to the large floating island and jumped on. It wasn’t easy getting on but it was well worth in. I ran and penguin slid off the island and felt a rush run through me.

“GET THEM” I yelled as my new friend Kara and I pushed Ry and Jayden off the island. We had just invented game called “Island domination” girls vs. boys and so far we were winning. The winning streak didn’t last long Ry came up from behind me and tackled me off the island. Luckily he came off too and Kara was still on the island until seconds later when Jayden smashed Kara off the pillow. I had so much fun at Kurrimine Beach and it was hard to say good bye to such an awesome place.

The Boulders

“It’s so co-ld” I said as my foot touched the water from the crystal clear river in the boulders. The water was amazing, so amazing that I fought the cold water and went for a swim. The water had its freezing patches but that made the cold patches feel cool.

When we were walking back dad said “Who wants to see a wild Cassowary”? We all said me not realizing that there was a huge cassowary right in front of us. It was the most beautiful bird. They look more beautiful in the wild then they looks in zoos. It was a lot bigger too. This cassowary was not over exaggerating bigger than I was. It was so calm and didn’t mind the paparazzi that came along every time it showed its beautiful face.

The German lady that was beside us said “It comes up so close. Last night I had a sausage and it chased me around the table”.  “But it was all right because I had a pen so if anything went wrong I could use the pen as defence” I tried my hardest not to laugh at that. “I dropped the sausage and then the bird ate it and walked away” It was so hard not to laugh but I managed to hold off.

Lions Dean Caravan Park

“WOW” I said as I looked at the out of control fire that covered the road ahead of us. We didn’t want to risk going through the fire so we went back to a town for lunch. After about 1 hour we went back to the road the fire had covered, we were able to drive through. It was amazing there were still trees on fire but it was safe enough for mum to poke her head out to get a picture.



Finally some water without crocodiles in it.



What a massive day of driving we had had. When we pulled up at the lion’s dean I jumped out of the car and ran to the little playground.

On our last day it was boiling so we went for a swim in the beautiful croc free creek. The water was a lovely temp and I could have swum for hours but we had to go. Next stop Cooktown!

 

 

Cooktown

Dad and I at Cape Tribulation

“What a beautiful caravan park” I said as we pulled up to a nice shady site. It was a really good set up day because after we were set up we were going to try and see a massive croc down at the massive river.

“You’ll see ‘him at fisherman’s corner, mate” The man said as we tried to find where you can see the croc. We drovedown to be told that we were a bit late. We went to the place where you see the croc every day to be told the same thing “You’re a bit late mate crocs gone”.



Windiest place in Aust.



I didn’t like Cooktown very much too windy and with the cute town it was it had some rough people that liked to fight at the back of the caravan park.





Our survivor hut at Noah's beach

Newell Beach Caravan Park

“Look the pools right at the back of our site” I said as we pulled up at this cute little caravan park. As soon as we were all set up Ry, Taj and I jumped into the pool. It was a beautiful temp and it made me feel fresh. It was a really deep pool so it made it a lot of fun.

There was an awesome skate park. It was really good for people who can do drops (like me). It was a lot of fun at the skate park my favourite thing was my little course that I made up. The skate park was cool because it was the sameon both sides the jumps in between were a massive 6ft drop and a square jump in the middle.

The playground was really good. It was huge. I really liked playing a game where we had to try to catch the small dog that was a bit of a terror. It was hard to catch the little dog. I managed to catch him 4 times.

That was my super fun week and a bit. Until next time from Taz
