Hi, I’m Nicky and I also the one who love discovery the nature ! For that reason , I had had a remembrance that I will never forget. Last holiday, I decided to discover the Simpson desert. It’s famous with its red sand, it look like a fire when the sun enlighten the desert and its advertising on Discovery channel. That’s why I want to visit it.
Day 1 : I went into the Simpson desert by the car which was rent from the native people. No longer after I started the journey, my car’ tire was explored because the car was run over the sharp tree-trunk.
It was took me quite long to change another tire. Then 4 hours later, It was happened again ! the sec
...ond tire also explored. At that time, I have no more tire to change, my problem started from here ! I was trying my best to move the car slowly with the 3 tires left. Obviously, the left 3 tire gradually explored. Then, I was keep driving a car very slow, unfortunately, the car’ engine started to give off smoke because the engine was worked to hard. Finally the car was burning and after 2 hours it left the bodywork of the car with cinders.
From that landmark, I just had left the backpack with some sandwich and 2 bottles of water but the map and compass was burned down with the ill-fated car. So I had to go on with the journey or more exactly is I have to find the way out of the Simpson desert. Then I was kept walking
but totally get lost, I was just walking around. The weather was decreased gradually and I felt more tired, my legs were very painful. The sun set and the night came with the dry and cold wind, some of the sand-sliding skink, mouse like marsupial were came out the hatch to look for food. I was too tired than I slept unheeded.
Day2: The scorching hot of the sunshine woke me up. At that time, my phone had no signal so I decided to find a high place to receive the signal, then I kept go on the journey. My food and drink also dwindle away to nothing. Finally I found the observatory, I climbed up to the top of its. Unfortunately, my phone also could not receive the signal ! My last hope was also gone, I was very disappointed. Suddenly, I saw a helicopter flew overhead. My hope was light up again but unexpectedly disappear. I scream at the helicopter in hopeless , did anything to notice it but it just flew away.
I did not give up easily, I was trying to follow the way of the helicopter went through. So I just walked until the night when I could not walked anymore and fell down then I laid unconscious until the next morning.
Day3: The thirsty woke me up in the next morning , I felt totally exhausted and I did not think I could overcome. Suddenly, I thought about my family and my children, they are my future. So I stood up and tried my best to walk but I could not walk without water so I
have to find the cactus with the hope to get some water.
Luckily, the first cactus that I cut down had much water. Then I went on the rest journey . Until the sun was going set, I found out the path and I started to walk along the path but my health did not allow me to walk anymore. I was fell to the ground in a faint. Providential, the next day I woke up in the local hospital. I was saved by a local farmer. I was very thankful to that farmer ! After all the things that I had gone through, I feel my life is meaningful and respect all the time that I have with my family and my children! The task in my discovery is never give up something easily.
