This morning, we woke up in Wilsons Promontory National Park to the surprisingly loud noise of birds chirping. We had some breakfast, and went on a hike through the rainforest and out to the coast of what Australians call the Southern Ocean, but what the rest of the world calls the Indian Ocean. When we got to the beach at the end of the trail, we where amazed by the beautiful views. There were mountains covered with dark green vegetation next to the turquoise water. The beach itself was called Squeaky Beach, because when you walked on the sand, it made a squeezing noise. This was caused by the rounded quartz crystals in the sand. We waded into the water and, despite the inviting color and beauty of the ocean, it was chilly, so we promptly got out. We walked back along the trail and had sandwiches for lunch in our RV. Then, my brother and I practiced our violins for a few hours before hitting the road again.
