Today could technically be called a driving day, but we didn\u2019t actually go anywhere. We stayed in the car for a long time, but there were intervals of hiking\/walking. Our first break was at Mt. Lesueur, named after a French zoologist. We hiked- or, should I say, I<\/em> hiked- four kilometers up and down the plateau. Ethan, Dad, and Mom did another 2K loop while I went in search of the facilities.<\/p>\n

Before this death march, we had gotten out to look at the informatory signs and take pictures of the flora. This flora included kangaroo paws, buttercups, and melaleucas.<\/p>\n

We stopped several other times before leaving Lesueur National Park. Our last time was to look at a sign with a leaning tree on it. Well, a leaning tree that was an echidna. Mom was like, \u201cOh, that\u2019s a leaning tree sign!\u201d Ethan: \u201cThat\u2019s an echidna, Mom.\u201d Mom: \u201cNo, that\u2019s a leaning tree!!!\u201d (In her defense, it looks like a tree from a distance.)<\/p>\n

That was the first of three echidnas, or porcupines as Dad called them just to bug Ethan, we saw: two on signs and one on the road near Amble Inn. It was so cute and I wanted one (I still do), and I also wanted one of the rabbits that three-year-old Sandy, the Murrays\u2019 dog, was watching so intently. One was brown and white and it was the cuter and fatter one. I picked it up, but it was pooping. I put it back down. Immediately.<\/p>\n

I finally got the black-and-white one in my arms and it is, in my opinion, the cuter of the two.<\/p>\n

While playing at the playground in Jurien Bay, Ethan played tag with a brother and sister whose names were, coincidentally, Erin and Ethan.<\/p>\n
