M: Hello, Kate. How are you?
W: Oh, fine, and you? How did things go in the exams?
M: I’m not sure. I haven’t got all my results yet, but I’m so glad we’re coming up to the end of the semester. And I’m going camping with some friends. What are you doing over the semester break, Kate?
W: I haven’t got any plans yet. I don’t really have enough money to fly home. I suppose I could get a part-time job and earn some money.
M: I thought about doing some summer courses, but I decided that’s not a good idea. I need a break. Why don’t you join us on the camping trip?
W: Well, I don’t know really. Would your friends mind?
M: No, of course not. They’d be happy to have you along. We’re going down to the Royal National Park. It’s about 30 kilometers south of Sydney. We’ll be getting an early train from Central to Waterfall. It leaves Central at seven and goes to Waterfall via Sutherland. Amin and Lucy are joining us there because they live in Caringbah. Then, from Waterfall, we’ll hike to where we’re going to be spending the first few days. That’s at Garie beach.
W: Where is the park?
M: It’s on the coast, but it’s very big—over 15000 hectares. We can hire boats, go boating and row boats. There isn’t much point in diving around there as there aren’t any reefs or anything, so there’s not much underwater life.
W: So do we have to carry all our food for a week?
M: No. We’ve organized for the food to go down with a van, so we don’t have to carry too much. You know Dave’s van. It’s a camper with a fridge and cooking things, so we needn’t bother with that. But you’ll need to bring your swimsuits because there are beaches, and the river. You can swim in the river. There are some beautiful little swimming holes with waterfalls in the river.
W: OK, that’s great. I’m a bit eager to leave.
