Mum, Dad, my sister Kate and I have been travelling around Australia for the past 4 months.

Bones of dead animals told us that nothing lives for long in this barren hell.
My hair was in a rubber band, high on top of my head. The back of my neck was moist and sometimes I could feel sweat run down inside my cotton dress, which was clinging to my body.

We both laughed, Dads punishment was for us to count trees because we had be fighting.
"Are we there yet?" Kate asked.
"No, not yet." Mum replied.
For the next ten minutes we sat in silence.
"Are we there yet?" I whined.
"No we are not there yet Ruth I think you two had better find something to do." Mum said in a firm voice.
"There's nothing to do."
"I'll play...
