Today we went to the Myella Cattle Station, which is in the outback. We arrived just before sunset, but since the outback actually gets sunsets, unlike the coastline, we hurried to go watch it. We all piled into the back of a pickup truck, which kind of felt like we were in a scary movie, and drove to where we could get a great view of the sunset. The sunset was absolutely gorgeous! I think I definitely feel like I’m Australia now since I’m finally away from the tropical coastline.
In the morning, we went horseback riding, which I have to say was the best thing that I have done so far in Australia! They taught us how to saddle up the horse, get on and off a horse correctly, and of course, how to control the horse while riding. My horse’s name was Thunder and he was a great horse to ride! He is very good with beginning riders and I didn’t have any trouble with him at all. We began with some basic training and just getting use to riding the horse, and then we ventured off into the outback. We got the opportunity to heard the cows in, which was a lot of fun watching the cows run away from us. Overall, this was definitely my favorite activity that I have done so far in Australia! Who else can say that they have gone horseback riding in the outback?
