Day Two- Boshack and Orchard Glory Farm

Before we retire to bed, let us tell you about our interesting day two.

Early AM:

English Breakfast with sausages and orange juice was served.
I must say, these people are sure good with their food.
Double yums!

Uncle Greg, our coach captain, drove us on a really long journey to Boshack.
During our journey we caught the beautiful sight of goats, cows, 28 parrot, horses and even the cockatoos. What was spell-bounding? The meadow of canola flowers. Their pretty yellow petals shone gracefully against the sunlight.

Boshack:
At Boshack, we got treated to home made cream cheese and jam on whole-meal bread.
They tasted so wonderful that everyone wanted to help themselves to a second serving.
We moved on to feed the cows, goats and the horses.

We played Aboriginal games like the Boomerang. Of which is used to hunt for animals. Afterwhich,
we used two metal wires to detect for sources of water. To my surprise, my two wires crossed over each other when there was a source of water ahead of me. Fantastic! WE sat in dreaming stories like how the Aborigins did. We had our little story telling session. Afterwhich, we played with the Didgeridoo. We headed off to watch kangaroos by travelling on tractor. The tractor ride was AWESOME and we also made friends with Jeffa, their female dog.

Orchard Glory Farm:

Today, we bottled wine. Weeehoooo! The process of wine making is indeed tedious.
Thank goodness from all worlds that it only happens once a year.
Then again, the process of storing the wine for perfection takes months and more months and even YEARS!

We also fed the alpaca. We learnt that a woolen jacket, that of an alpaca's, could cost aboust A$1000.
After having felt the texture of the wool, we realized that it could really keep one warm.

We picked oranges and tangelos. Woah! They sure tasted a lot better than the ones we get off the tray from the markets at home.





We wrapped the day by having scrumptious dinner and making a thank you card for Aunt Michelle and Uncle David. They have been awesome and generous hosts during our stay. Also, we had a surprise home party over at Deeyan's as she would be turning eleven tomorrow. Happy Birthday Deeyan.

Learning point of the day:
GRIP- We reflected and related our day's experience and the activities we had in line with our school's core values being Graciousness, Responsibilty, Integrity and Perserverence. We also overcome most of our fears with the support of one another. Kudos!

To be done [MUST BE DONE]: to talk to one another at a volume of a 6 inch radius

That makes our day a wrap.
We have to hit the sacks for an early and long day tomorrow.
Good night world.
