Adels Grove

11th (thursday) On the way to Adels Grove we stopped at the Riversleigh Fossil World Heritage Site and had a look at some fossils. Arrived at Adels Grove, set up camp and went for a walk along the Lawn Hill Creek which runs out of Lawn Hill Gorge, went down the Nature Walk track and then made our way to the Adels Grove lookout (the only place with reception). 12th (friday) Went to Lawn Hill National Park and done a walk along the gorge and went to a few lookouts. We then went canoeing for 2 hours which was great! We seen a bird drop a berry into the water and all these fish went up to it and started to attack it, so we grabbed some out of the tree and sat there for a bit watching all these fish attack the berries. There were a lot of fish in there and seen a turtle, couldn't fish there though. Was nice and relaxing canoeing up and down the gorge going pass cascades and looking at the scenery. We were going to go for a little swim before we had to take the canoes back, Dad got in waist deep and was like 'nope, too cold!' Mum and Daniel were too pussy to even try it out and I just dived in, was nice! Both nights staying at Adels Grove we played Uno and Scrabble, on the first night someone got out there Bugle and tried to play The Last Post. On the second night after we got back from the National Park Daniel and I went up to the Adels Grove lookout to get reception and also watched the sunset. Also on the second night, when we went to have our showers all that came out was a little trickle of water. That made me pretty annoyed so I walked off but Mum tried to wash herself with the tiny bit of water that was coming out. At night time its hard to find your way back to camp because it all looks pretty similar and theres a lot of tracks that go everywhere. Daniel got lost on the first night and we also had a lot of randoms coming up to our camp trying to find theirs.
