During the summer, my family always goes camping in Australia.  Each year we choose a different location.  This year my dad had picked out a camping site that he hoped would be perfect.  I wish we had camped somewhere else, anywhere else.

We arrived at our camping site and found that it was not too far from a caravan park.  We made up our campground and prepared to have a lot of fun.  After clearing our ground area of debris, we started a nice big fire and cooked dinner.  After it got dark, we put marshmallows on a stick and sang some songs.  We turned in for the night.

The next morning it was raining very heavily.  We couldn’t cook anything, so we had a cold breakfast and began to wait for the rain to stop.  After a few hours, it was apparent the rain wasn’t going to stop so we went out to swim in the nearby lake.  It was a lot of fun although it was raining.  We ate some cold beans for the night and went to bed.  The next morning it was still raining and we began to worry that we wouldn’t be able to do anything.

That night it was still raining and the ground was beginning to get pretty soft.  For the next 15 days it rained and things got much worse.  The Camping Ground was so saturated, that the tents began to sink into the ground.  We had brought plenty of canned food that we had hoped to heat up so we didn’t go without food.  Finally, my dad said enough was enough and we began to pack up.  That went even worse and the ground was so wet and mushy that we ended up covered in mud.

After two days of hot showers and no rain, I finally dried out and was so happy to forget that vacation where it rained for 17 days.
