A Visit in Darwin- Big Write by Callam Thomas

In Darwin we went to Litchfield National Park. At the national park we went to a place so cool called the rock pools. We swam in the really deep pool at the bottom. If you use your goggles underwater it looks amazing. When the water rushed through the rocks it made a great spa.

After we finished at the rock pools we went to Florence Falls and plunge pool. We went for a swim and there were lots of fish in the water. There were people jumping off the waterfall. It was very dangerous and they should not have been doing it because there was a sign that said DO NOT CLIMB OR JUMP OFF THE ROCKS.

We also went to a fun wave pool. It had big fans that make the waves for the pool. They also have a boogie board that you can use for free. There were a lot of waves to ride.

We went on a boat called the Duckabout and it also goes on land. I got to drive the boat. It is called an amphibious vehicle. You can't swim in Darwin's harbour because of the box jelly fish and the crocs.

Finally we went to crocosaurus cove. At the start we did fish feeding. A man named Josh did the fish feeding. He taught us about the sting ray and barramundi. Then we went to the reptiles and saw a massive gonna. One half of the display was dark for the nocturnal reptiles and one half was light. Also at the reptiles we got to hold an Olive Python. We also held two lizards. One was called Bowser the other was called Yoshi. Also did a thing called fishing for crocs. They put meat on the end of the the fishing line and the little crocs jump up to get the meat. I caught 2 crocs on my rod. They were really strong.

Did you know!
That saltwater crocs prefer to live in freshwater!
