Day 1......
I woke about 4/5 times during the night every 3 hours or so......technically our night time is british day time so i just wasnt tired during the night!
We had an orientation into the park day today. 9am we met Nick the ranger to have a safety talk above some aboriginal cave paintings overlooking the entire 100acre park. We were taught what to do if we get bitten by anythnig poisonous and other saftey advice...we then played a few name games to learn everyones names. The people im with seem sooo nice, i'm getting on especially well with the americans which will be good for future holidays hahaaa!
We spent the whole day learning about aboriginal history, feeding and touching the kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, billabies and other park animals and being general tourist amongst our own park which was fun.
We take it in turns to cook for everyone in 3s every night...i cooked last night pasta bolognese with vegetables and tomato-y sauce but didnt actually eat much myself....i'm either going to come home tiny or massive from eatting crap or not hardly eatting at all hahaaa!
Tonight the cooking team made rice with chicken teriyaki sauce with was nice...i only had a little bit though.
Iv been gonig through my chamomile tea like theres no tomorrow as the mornings and evenings are really cold here but it gets really sunny and warm during the mid part of the day!
Tomorrow we start volunteering 8am-4pm monday-friday.....the work seems quite structures and involves alot of manual labour to help preserve and protect the animals within the park and maintin the electric fence to keep out unwanted dangerous animals from the park.
Night Night :)
