So today was our team / school hang out day. Started off great. We met at the base at 11.. which meant I could totally sleep in.. not that I did but the potential was nice haha. Anyways, so we went to the national park in the hills. It was beautiful. We BBQ'd lunch (sausages/hotdogs) and took lots of pictures. We also had an orange peal boat race down the stream haha. We all made our little boats out of orange peals and made sales and stuff out of sticks and leaves. Jules' (Joe's wife) totally dominated .. mine took the path less travelled and literally didn't move. I think I'll stick to working with people and not so much orange peals .. and engineering. Miriam was trying to make a lagit little boat out of leaves and stuff and so she went to pull a twig off a branch I guess and she got bit and she freaked out and was in a lot of pain so when Joe and James looked to see what it was there was a spider hidden in one of the broken branches and so after like 10 minutes of trying to get a good picture of it, Joe took Miriam to the park ranger and James eventaully got the spider into a water bottle to take up and find out if it was serious - necessary considering where we were haha. So they didn't think it was serious and they didn't recognize the spider which is good so we moved on and hiked over to the falls. If there was a species of ants called antious mammothose.. I saw it. It was HUGE and it was so far off the ground because of how long its creepy legs were and Joe was like "ya that thing would make you swell up really bad" and I was like great.. so I left haha and then I saw a centimede the size of leg and then I left again. Eventually we did reach the falls which were stunning. They were so beautiful. oh my stars. Anyhow, because the YMT cannot do anything without something unexpected happening, Natasha slips and falls and goes on a little trip down the falls and gets all dirty and slimy. yum :)
When we got back to the rec. are, cecily and I were behind them all, and so when we caught up they were all gathered by the railing and so we went over and there were like at least 8 kangaroos just chilling and hopping around. and a few of them had babies in their pouch. They were SO close it was insane. Like literally feet away from us and they didn't care. It was awesome. Anyhow, good day. I'll be posting pictures on facebook later probs.
Peace outttttt.
