One of my few frightening experiences was when my mum and dad took my sister and me camping at Barrington Tops. I helped my parents set up our tent and then Bianca and I were allowed to go and play in the rapids. They were fairly close to our camping spot and they were shallow. I met a girl named Renee so Bianca and I played with her.
We were playing in the rapids when I struggled to climb onto this big rock for a breath. Then I climbed down, only to just holding on when my foot got stuck underneath a rock. Just to make me even more scared, the rapids were getting faster and stronger. I realized I was stuck and I couldn’t reach the edge. I called out to Bianca and Renee and they ran to get my mum.
Mum came quickly and tried to get me but she couldn’t reach me. Luckily, these two canoes came and rescued me.
I was about 7 or 8 and I was terrified. I got over it sooner or later but it wasn’t the most enjoyable day I’ve lived!
