Hello all :) I left off saying I was going seed collecting (again please don't mind the typos, this keyboard is a bit different).
Seed collecting day was wonderful. We went looking for bidgee widgees. and other plants i forgot the name of. :) it was very relaxing. we spent most of the day at this park called Yambuk. if you can, google it. It was so amazingly beautiful. There was a huge slide that went down a sand dune and steps that led up to it and even higher so you could see over the lake and into the ocean.
we had lots of fun racing up the sand dunes and making fun of the women in charge of us that day. her name was jodie, and we didn't like her. haha. but thats okay, it made for a good laugh. (see title of blog)
after the park, we went to this road and jodie got all serious and mad and was like you guys must listen. we were by a swamp so she was yelling for us to stay in a certain place so we wouldn't fall into the swamp drop off but not to step too far back because there was an electrical fence right behind us. cool jodie. also to our left there was a field of water buffalo, and when barry saw them he started saying all sorts of curse words so i was a bit like...hm, death trap much? but here i am. alive. but not liking jodie.
Yesterday we went back to Rosie. It was an awesome day. we had a wonderful morning planting trees and cleaning up a bit. Then we had some delicious morning tea, with sunshine (a boy here that we call him that because he looksl ike sunshine from remember the titans, btu really hsi name is nick) and racheal (the header of the project) were playnig the guitar and eukelele. after that we planted a bit more. and then ben and helen (the couple that owns the cottage and land) made us a beautiful barbeque. it was delicious. we had sausage/hot dogs, veggie burgers, and some good chicken. also lots of veggies.
after lunch we went on about a 4 mile hike looking for orange bellied parots. but we did not succeed. we did see a fox and another endangered bird though that OBPs out with. and the hike was right by a beautiful lake. on the ocean. everywhere here is so visually pleasing it's unbelievable.
last night i cooked some chicken pasta with sunshine and barry. then after dinner we sat for hours and talked with barry and a few others just about life. great night.
today we worked with the SCHOOL KIDS! my favorite day thus far. they were so freaking funny. they curse more than i do when i'm drunk or mad. and they are very mature for their age. but cursing for them is appropriate here. so whatever. we planted some trees on the otherside of the locke that is across from ben and helen's and then we had morning tea. after that barry took us to the beach to have lunch and then we had a relaxing afternoon and got off early.
when we got back to port fairy, we went to "The Hub" which is a little diner or something here. i really wanted to sit and have a coke so we did that. It was nice. now im sitting here chillin with my glass of wine, blogging, and what not. i'm almost out of wine, i only have a half of glass left so i may run to the store now.
This weekend....tomorrow we're going to the pub after work, saturday we may go see an australian football match and then saturday night wer'e going to a concert!! i'm super excited for that. then sunday we're giong on a drive to see the 12 apostles. WOO so much typing
