Top 15 Experiences around Australia

Cubbaroo

Now this is my list of our top 15
experiences around Oz. At the moment it is 15, but I am not sure if the list will grow (or even shrink). So settle in for a series of posts and get your trip calendars out to start planning!

1. Watching the sunset over the ocean at Karumba- For the east coasters, seeing the sun set over the ocean was something. The Sunset Tavern was perfect for it. The flatness of the water was amazing. We have sort of got used to seeing the sun setting over the ocean now, but then it was sort of a novelty. The weekender from Cubbaroo was definitely worth it!

All ready to set out for our horse ride. The name of Josh's
horse still sits firmly in my mind, Oakey. 

2. Cubbaroo- Alright, so I have mentioned this a lot but I utterly loved Cubbaroo!! Trust me if I am talking about experiences, this cannot be forgotten. I am not going to rehash all of what I have previously said, so just read this post.

3. Naracoorte horse riding- Even though we broke down at Naracoorte, we still managed to do a lot!! On the last day  we went for a horse ride. This ride was great, through forest and scrub, and we all enjoyed the experience. It was definitely better then the Dubbo ride, which was just over bare paddocks. The lady running it was just about to go on holidays, but she took us on the trail ride in the middle of her packing.

Having fun rock climbing at the Rock!

4. Rock climbing at Darwin- We greatly enjoyed the rock climbing at Darwin. Again the lady running it opened it specifically for us, and we had some climbing fun!! Chloe and Tahlia even did it, and she made it pretty far up. I also learnt to belay there, as the last time I had been too young. Joel and Josh challenged each other, and Josh enjoyed the hardest climbs. It was pretty hot, and just as we arrived it started bucketing down.

5. Fed the Dolphins at Monkey Mia- We had heard all about the dolphins, and we were slightly worried that it wasn't allowed any more. We had heard that it wasn't allowed any more, but when we arrived it was still happening. Sadly, the first day we arrived the dolphin feeds had finished (only three feeds a day before 12 o'clock), but we came back for a second day (both days were nice and rainy) and saw the feeding. It was quite crowded, and none of us received the option of feeding them. After finishing the feed, we went out and started to cook our porridge which we had brought with us to cook on the butane stove. When we heard the loudspeaker, we all hurried over (both girls were still in their pyjamas, due to the fact of me forgetting their clothes) for a second feed. Luckily, Tahlia received the option of feeding them which she greatly enjoyed!
