Today we visited the Olsen's Capricorn Caves and Dreamtime Aboriginal culture center. When we went to the caves we learned that they are made of limestone and they got their designs from water. After our tour we got to choose a challenge course, easy, medium or hard. The courses made you crawl through caves and across suspension bridges. There was one cave where the acoustics are the same or better than the Sydney Opera House. Some people even have weddings in the caves!
After the caves we headed to the Aboriginal culture center. There we learned about the people who have been living in Australia for over 40,000 years. Each delegate and teacher got to try throwing a boomerang. We watched original dances and learned all about the didgeridoo. We got to try kangaroo and crocodile as well! It was an experience of a lifetime.
Amber's Thoughts: Today was a fun day! I really liked learning how to throw a boomerang.
Sarah's Thoughts: I think the two best parts if the day were when we through a boomerang and got to do a challenge in the cave. I think going through the cave that day was so cool! I also loved the feeling of holding a boomerang.
Kayla's Thoughts: When we saw Aboriginal dancing we really got to feel the culture of these people. It was an experience of a lifetime eating kangaroo and crocodile for dinner.
