Woke up at 6.30am as per usual work day.....its soooo cold in Calga compared to Sydney! i cant wait to make it to Cairns and the tropical climate on Friday! Still i kept positive and did star jumps to keep warm....and try lose weight from all the alcohol i drank this weekend! After the morning coldness the sun came out and actually got quite warm while we were working! Today me, Louisa and one of the gay irish guys Darragh worked together sweeping leaves off a path and making it more suitable to visitors to the park to walk around! I made up a sweeping exercise routine for us called cardio-sweep....it actually worked quite good! Lunge....sweep sweep sweep...lunge sweep sweep sweep lol!
The detox is gonig well...i ate an apple and a tuna salad wrap for lunch! Us 3 swept the path all day and was actuyally a right laugh having a gossip between us three and swapping stories and drunken moments!
After work finished at 4pm me and my leader Alicia (who's only 23) went to the shops and bought all our grocery's for the week! we gety given $500 a week for food for all 12 of us...however for some reason after buying everything we needed for 3 meals a day we had $300 left over so we went round and bought loads of chocoaltes, sweets, popcorn, icecream, timtams (kind of like a penguin biscuit which every aussie loves), Anzac cookies and other treats :) So much for the diet,lol!
Tonight we had rice, vegetables and chicken teriyaki pieces, then we watched a film/documentary called Contact about the last ever Real Aboriginal tribe who were discovered living in the desert in 1967. It was really interesting but the weekend had knackered me so a few of us started falling asleep halfway through! Its been interesting learning about the aboriginees, their culture and way of life in the past and these days!
We get sooo kanckered by the physical work during our volunteering around the park that we all get to sleep before 10pm every night....bring on Cairns and the partying on Friday woohooo :D
