Today we got up really early in the morning before the sun came up. We went to Simpson Gap where we went on a tour. The guide told us about the uses of the plants found in the area such as how they used the dew found on spinifex along the creek as glue. He showed us some boomerangs and spears throwers that he made himself out of the wood found there. We then went to Standley Chasm which cost thirty dollars because it was privately owned by the aboriginal community. We went to Standley Chasm at midday so that we could see the shadow from the sun move across the ground, moving about 5 meters in 10 minutes. We then went to a camp ground picnic area near The Valley of the Palms along a rough dirt road for lunch. We were going to go to the actual valley but didn't because the road would have got worse according to the ranger and would of taken a couple of hours. We then headed back to the caravan park and on the way we went to Ormingston gorge and Ellery Creek Big Hole. At Ormingston gorge we saw a dingo and at Ellery Creek Big Whole it was difficult to see anything because it was night but could just see the water.
