Hey guys.

Today we went to lock number 5 and the weir, the lookout tower, Banrock Station, and the adventure playground.
First we went to the lock and the weir. A lock helps boats up to higher water were the weir is damming the water. The lock works by opening one of the gates on one side then pumping water into the lock until the water is level with the water on the other side of the weir then they will pump the water out.
Next we went to the viewing tower in Berri. Yes Berri is the juice brand, Berri is named after the town Berri. There is a massive tower, there was an amazing view of Berri and all the land around it.
Then we drove up to Banrock Station. Mum and Dad bought some sparkling wine, then we went for a walk down to the bird hide (at Banrock Station), Dad saw a snake slithering under the board walk. We tricked Andrew into thinking there were swamp crocodiles. The rain clouds were up above us when we went to the adventure playground. There was so much there to do. There was a massive cable bridge, leaning towers, two massive swings, an even bigger swing kind of thing, wave bridges, smaller playgrounds, a kiosk, and a maze. The only bad thing was that they had taken down the massive flying fox. It was really fun. When we got back Andrew and I went for a swim. It was really cold but the pool was warmish. In the last 10 minutes of swimming before we went back to the caravan we claimed the spa. It was almost like a bath.
