"This trip has been awesome," exclaimed Jake to the others.

Kerry, who was 17 and a cousin to the two brothers Trent and Jake, said, "We need to get back to camp quickly! Its getting dark and everyone is waiting for their dinner." The three of them had been shopping for food and more equipment.

Trent, who was 19 years old and is on 5 weeks leave from the army screamed " How stupid can you get! Why didn't you guys think of bringing a torch!" Whilst he was shouting at the others they took a wrong turn without noticing. Jake ran ahead because he hated it when Trent shouted. Then Kerry got annoyed at Trent for scaring away Jake, then ran after him.

They had been running for around ten minutes when Jake stopped running abruptly. "We're lost."

No-one realised that they had ran for over 3 kilometers now, and no-one knew where they were. When Trent finally catched up to the rest of them, huffing and puffing. He went on another shouting rage. "Where are we?!?! This is all your fault Jake!! Don't go running off again, you will just lead us even further away from the camp!!"

After along time argueing Kerry finally decided that it would be best for them to keep on going forward in hope of finding a clearing where they could spend the night. They had been tramping for only a few minutes when they found a the clearing that they desired. "Alright! Everyone take off your bags and set up camp. They had a quick dinner of biscurts and some a bottle of coke. It took them a while to get to sleep but finally they did.

They didn't know it but they were more then 20km away from the camp. They were in the middle of the Austrailian bush with no weapons to protect them from the dangers that awaited them. The rest of the family at camp were starting to worry about the three kids. They left the camp to go and get search and rescue.

Kerry woke up to the feeling of something licking her face. She shot up screaming and shouted to Trent for help. Trent sprinted over then cracked up laughing.Kerry didn't understand "Why are you laughing? That snake could of killed me!" Trent, still laughing replied " So this is your idea of a snake?" Kerry peered from behind her sleeping bag. Rolling around on the ground next to Trent was a large German Shepard dog. At that second stumbling out of the bush came Jake. "There you are Smokey!" He said whislt running over to the dog and patting it. Kerry suddenly shouted to Jake, "Where the hell have you been!?" Jake said back sourly "Sorry! Just thought i'd go for a walk, then smokey here burst out of the bush and we became friends, and to malke everything better, I found some oranges." " Are you sure they are'nt poisonous?" Kerry asked.
