We are now having fun at YHA hostel. After a delicious fish and chip dinner, we are now having our own time to chit-chat with our new-found friends.
We couldn't update our blog yesterday because Kangaroobie farm did not have internet access. Anyway, we were having so much fun and learning that there was hardly any time to upload our photos.
These are the photos for the past 2 days:
We went to Great Ocean Road and learnt that the road was built by World War One returning Australian soldiers. Many of them had a hard time returning back to civilian lives and were jobless. Thus the Australian government created this job opportunity for them. However, it was certainly not an easy job because it took them 30 years to complete the project. Even with today's technology, Australian government feels that it is a heavy cost to widen the Great Ocean Road. Can you imagine the hardship the returning soldiers had in the 1940s?
We went to stay at Kangaroobie farm and Miss Diana was giving us instructions and the programmes for the next activities.
We went to the one of the 7 wonders in the world: the 12 Apostles.
The boys were sitting on the cushion bush and it was really comfortable.
We really had a great time at the hidden beach!
Behind us was the London Bridge!
3 things I learnt today:
1) We learnt that kangaroos can be eaten!
2) More ferns grow in Australia temperate forest than Singapore tropical rainforest
3) Some worms can glow!
How can I apply what I have learnt in daily lives?
1) We cannot assume too much and must learn more!
2 things I look forward to:
1) Farm activities
2) Volcanic walk
1 sweet memorable thing:
Look at the night sky together during winter in the temperate forest.
Today we had team-building activities in the farm.
Help us! We are locked up! We were on our way to feed the cattles.
Cute little calf.
We went to Tower Hill to learn about the history of the volcanic hill and the aborignes.
We also learnt how to throw a boomerang (primitive way of hunting).
3 things I learnt today:
1) Trees have gender.
2) The testicle of the bull is as large as the can of Coca-Cola!
3) How to throw a boomerang
How can I apply what I have learnt in daily lives?
1) Learning how to throw a boomerang is exactly like learning how to do 'O' level questions: YOU NEED TO PRACTICE AND PRACTICE AND PRACTICE!
2 things I look forward to:
1) Shopping at Victoria Market
2) Art Museum
1 sweet and memorable thing:
Feeding the cows and how to get through the farm obstacles with team work!
