We woke up and drove to the old Peak Hill Open Cut Gold Mine where we had our breakfast and then we walked around the open cut mine and took pictures. The mine was a humongous hole with sides that looked like big steps. There was water at the bottom of the mine. I got eaten by mosquitoes. I got a small branch with leaves on it to flick around so the mosquitoes didn't get near me. But it didn't seem to work very well. By the end I had about 1000 bites on me!
After the mine we went to The Dish. The Dish is the most ginormous radio telescope I've ever seen in my life! In the visitor centre we looked at a display of a black hole where you rolled a ball and it got pulled into the black hole. Another thing I liked there was the wonky mirrors that showed us how the mirror on the telescope made things look different. One mirror made me look miniature. Another mirror made my fingers short if I held them horizontally and quite long if I held them vertically. I thought the telescope was awesome.
We didn't do anything else today. We just drove to Narrandera.
